anyway, you should be ok

if you are going to make your own, anything over 2-3" is overkill

Sorry but what is "BPIs"? I'm glad to hear that 1/2" should be good enough. Actually it's probably slightly higher than that as the fan blades are mounter on plastic that's at least 2mm thick.
I don't think I'll make my own as the Innovatek one I have now has the shroud permanently mounted on from the factory. I would have to do a lot of metal bending in order to get it off.
Thanks for the suggestion.
