Out with the old:

And in with the new (and huge):

It's much bigger but really doesn't look that bad. My wife will put plants on top. I'm undecided what I want to do with the wires. I also discovered that I need a light or something attached to the fan power supply and run outside the case that will be an indicator as to when the fans are on. They do not kick on and off with the projector. They have a separate wireless controller that I use to turn them on and off. Problem is, this thing is so dang quiet that it's hard to tell when they're running! I don't want to have the projector on and not have the fans on.

How's about a ribbon on the exhaust side? If it flutters...fan is on. If the ribbon is limp..fan is off.

Huhuhuhuhuhuh...you said "limp."

Actually that's a really good idea! I'm going to give that a try today and see if there's enough flow to flutter a small piece of ribbon.

Thanks!
