GPU at the bottom of the case - cooler mod or another cooler?

I have a nearly reference RX 470 (blower) and I want to fit it in a Lenovo ThinkStation P300. However, it must go into the bottom of my case - alongside the RX 470 I have another single-slot GPU and PCI-e 1x wireless adapter, but the computer is MicroATX. There's no other placement options. So thermals become an issue. There's no bottom or side intake. Yet supposedly, with a blower styled card, the air must come from below the card. I do plan on throwing some fans in the front of the case for additional cooling.

Please suggest a way such that I can draw air from the back of the card.

I will not entertain suggestions of putting a hole in the case, for resale purposes. Not having the extra GPU is not an answer. I am, however, willing to change out the cooler, and if necessary, mod the back of the GPU (by back, I mean fan-side and power adapter side). But exactly how to go around modding the cooler, or which cooler suits my needs, I am not sure about.

Why can't I just buy a new motherboard and case? Well, broke college student. And, maybe one with too much time on hand. ;)

Thanks in advance!

Don't buy a new motherboard. Just buy a new case?

$25 is all it is going to take to get a cheapo mid-tower. Then the card wouldn't be on the bottom of the case.

I should add that any new GPU cooler is going to be easily more than the cost of a chassis.

Mail in rebates on these, but free shipping for now:

This one got decent reviews for a budget case...

If you have Amazon Prime there are also some decent deals out there.

Hmm, haven't thought of simply getting a new case. In this case, I'll look for something more stealthy, like a used R3 or R4.

In the meantime, thanks and enjoy a BA!
