Just thought I'd mention that any shroud is better than no shroud at all. Will there be a difference between 1' and 1 5/8'? Probably. Which will perform better? I couldn't tell you. It would probably depend on your fans. Think practically here. If you only give up .5c and you gain 5/8' of case space is it worth it? For me it would be. The noise difference might be more noticeable, though there are more effective ways of dealing with noise than shrouds.
