Good job
and an inline switch in the power lead too.
Have you tried fitting it inside with the lid lifted slightly by the fan, if it will fit ?

How do you keep the fan fixed to the lid without four holes for screws?
Your English is fine!

Here's how I modded it to stay cool. I drilled holes in top, replaced the heatsink with a 40x40x11 aluminum HS, (noticed 10°F reduction with HS replacement.170°F now) 80mm fan rigged for usb. Blowing air out of unit. It's either lose a usb port or electrical plug with alternate fan setup. Fan reduced it by 70°F.You may only view thumbnails in this gallery.

Albertron The fan turns off when the unit turns off, which is nice. When the box goes into sleep mode it turns off too.Last edited by Johnnyproduce; 19 February 2018, 21:32.

37x37x24 Heatsink E Item - 401331528986
40x40x11 Heatsink E Item - 292062678333
30mm Pi Fan - E Item - 222616196610
38mm Hole and a great chimney effect
30mm Fan + 40x40x11mm Heatsink - 38mm Hole in Lid - cut corners of fan to a step, half height of fan.
Holds Fan in case and presses down Heatsink nicely - can use MX2 paste not glue.
Stealth Fan - 30mm Pi fan fits inside case with Std. HS
2mm Foam pads give a gap for air circulation
Add a 30mm hole if you want the best cooling from this combo
The big three - 40x40x11 hiding in the back
