OK, first avoid direct sun, or it will heat up like the dickens in there. Second, this is the perfect opportunity to use humidity trays for real this time. In an enclosed area like that, they should really make a difference. Thirdly, I like your wife's idea best. Fourthly, you can go to the radio shack(not sure if they have any in your area) or the local electronics/computer store and buy computer cooling fans. 2 or 3 of the large ones should be enough to keep the air moving in there. Or you could simply keep the front open at night to get rid of standing water on leaves etc.
Fifthly, there was a post around here somewhere on Masdevallia terrariums with a cooling apparatus of some sort or other. I don't know how to do this, but perhaps some info is available within those posts.
Sixthly, Good luck!! This is going to be really cool!
