You could use a fan from an old microwave combo oven. As well as the normal plastic fan at the back they have a centrifugal fan with metal blades, to circulate hot air. Or you could make a metal fan to replace the plastic fan on a plastic one that all microwaves have.
I'd imagine a computer fan would warp over time, + there's more to go wrong with it, being brushless. Those old shaded pole motors keep going foreeeeeevvverrrr....
(edit) + with a microwave combo you get some nice high temperature wires for free.
