I've recently built a similarly sized cabinet, also with a closed back, and with the whole front covered, there's not much noticeable heat build up after having it on for an hour or so. Remember that the jacks provide a lot of air circulation.

Hi all - I built a two row case (20U in each row) for my MOTM-based
modular. In it now are a 900 PS, a 440 and a 110; finishing up an
800 EG kit and will be adding some DIY modules next. Right now there
is a back panel that slides on and off but it is rather kludgey and
rattles at certain bass frequencies. I'm thinking of just screwing
it in place, making the case more or less "air tight", aside from
whatever air passes through the front panel jacks or tiny "slop"
spaces between modules. Will I get too much heat build-up in the
case with no air circulation? I'd like to keep the dust out as much
as possible (and not drill ventilation holes in the back panel). For
some reason my studio gets rather dusty, though I take pains to
prevent it.

Thanks,
