Behind the cabinet is the basement concrete slab so i can't push or pull from there.
Oh and definitely post some pics if you got em.

Are those heat registers in the toe kicks? Or are they simply grills? You might be able to put some tin in there to force the air out the grills. It's not ideal trying to remove heat from the base. What about a fan blowing air into the cabinet from the base, and another fan at the top of the cabinet, cut out and simply blowing the air upwards? You can mount the fan under the cabinet and put a grill and/or mesh cover on top of it.
Is your gear going into the side cabinets or the lower center cabinets? Do you have cables and conduit going to one of the cabinets already?
Here is a crude idea of what I am talking about (and roughly what my cabinet looks like)
