I can embed one fan right in the front bezel, then case frame, shroud, BIX, shroud, then Fan,
the fans i will be using are
Evercool Chrome 120mm Fan
80 CFM 2000 RPM 30Db 0.38A

i think i have enough room for 3/4"
I'm also making them out of aluminum. I made one already but not quite happy with it... i start my design with cardboard.. then draw it out on aluminum once i get it shaped right.
thanks for your help.. hopefully i'll get time to work on it tonight
