You are limited somewhat as such a small space doesn't a need a ton of ducting....
A small DC fan setup, similar to a PC fan is what I recommend. I vent a larger space with a 90mm and 120mm Dc fan but I also run 110w of LED bulbs. but no filter. If needed.... You can make a carbon filter light trap for just a few dollars.
For reference, I have a mini fridge rigged up as a grow container, even more similar dimensions to your size and I vented 135 watts of cfl, with a single 90mm fan @ 12v's. Passive intake. No filter again.
I mean you could go with a Soler & Palau fan, that can do down to 16cfm I think, but they are $85 or so.....then add a $40 4" filter.
