To be able to get into the box what im going to do is make it so that where the tubing goes in not just have a hole but a slot. If u want a pic i can draw one up to show u what i mean. This way i will be able to take it out of the box without having to unhook tubing (i dread ever having to deal wiht that).
As for the top piece my dad came up with the idea of using studs that are machine screw and wood screw. half and half. Put the wood screw part into the MDF and then drill holes into the top piece and slide it on and then put wingnuts on to hold the top on nice and snug.
Speaker spikes wont be neccesary, as it isnt very loud, but its annoying. I like having my computer silent. My fans (even with case open) are nearly inaudiable.
My only thing now is Im not sure how big exactly i need to make it so that head buildup wont be an issue. The box will be sealed entirely and the foam wont be very good for heat conductivity. Its an issue. The motor area of hte pump is in excess of 100F when its in the open air. So im not sure how im going to deal with this.
