The only limit is the height, most of the 80x80cm fans out there are  
25mm thick, you need one that is 12.5mm thick in order to fit  
perfectly. You can get those from jameco (www.jameco.com) or mouser  
electronics (www.mouser.com). I even saved the required part numbers  
from mouser, let me see...
Here it is, all you need, the fan, and the connectors to connect it  
to the built in connector in cube:

Yes, by using the thermal switch, but I wouldn't go that far.
