The cabinet is just an old steel clothes cabinet about 6' tall and 30" wide and 18" deep. I have a little fan running and a 6" vent hole at the top.
The problem is its in the garage and summers here if u know what i mean. Its getting hot in there.
I guess if some company doesnt make a cooled box for this application, how hot an i let it get with just a fan moving air ?
Or can u buy a tiny AC ? That would be the shit i guess.

exhaust fans work wonders.

Might swith your lights from being on during the day, to at night when the air is cooler. Also might vent the air out of the garage..... like a dryer hose. Lights put off a lot of heat.

there was one way for me to fix this issue. I grow/dry in my garage. the only way that i was able to drop the temp in there was a window a/c unit. The outside air was about 85-90 before adding the a/c unit. After i can keep the garage at 70 all the time 
This keeps the temps in both boxes in check. 77.2 in the grow room and 71-72 in the dry room with a small fan pushing out air and passive intake.

I was waiting for someone to say that, but in my shop i have my 2 seperate rooms... one veg and one flower that already have AC running. My shop is big and it would cost a small fortune to cool it.
I wonder if there is a way to duct a little of the AC air to the dry cabinet. Like a 4" duct... and maybe it would keep it just cool enough.
How hot can it get if i keep air moving before it affects my bud.
I wish they made a little ac or something to that effect just to cool the cab.

air blowing on / or circulating around buds will dry it out too fast ,and thats about the worst that could happen,too fast of a dry ruins the smoke ,I'd put it in your air conditioned flower room if possible

You could duct air to the cab but i would put a diffuser in place. Something to slow the air entering the cab. I would suggest a diffused inlet at the bottom, some sort of screen to further diffuse the air in the middle then a passive exhaust at the top.
Then dangle the buds on a string inside above the screen.... maybe?
