Took a while to get the right build for the cooling system, used Gary Honis' idea, decided to change the design and got good results, 3 plastic project boxes later I have a working design, still need to do some work on it like hiding the cables inside the box and fitting a 12v AC adapter port on the box to allow all the cables to be inside (except for the USB cable of course
