Clip on plug in fan would probably be the easiest and cheapest option. There are also aquarium specific ones made by Zoo-Med and other manufacturers.

I use a basic clip on plug in. They last many years and the price is right.

I don't have a ton of room under the stand so I was looking at everything from computer fans to the very pricey fans from GHL as I will be running a Profilux controller. Looking for something like the latter but I'd love to not have to spend over $100.

It all depends on ambient temperature and humidity when it comes to fan cooling. In a moderate climate, fan cooling is very effective even a standard 80cm computer fan will perform. Clip on fan is nicer but be careful with AC driven fan. Use 12v dc fan for safety.
In a hot and humid country like mine, cooling fan must be able to move a lot of air (loosely translated as noisy fan) to see a dent and top off water runs out very fast.
