Don't forget you need good airflow through the case, so make sure any large blocks on the inside have adequate vents in them, too.
I suggest a 12 gauge slug for this purpose, it should quickly and easily ventilate the case and any "large blocks" that might be in it.

Remember, as I always say: nothing makes an impression quite like a 12 gauge slug!
