LCD Controller upgrade and underside electonics cooling fan on R1

I am looking at buying the XXL LCD Controller from printed solid, but when I see installs of this I see an issue in the making. I have the R1 with the bottom cover that has a fan that blows across the circuit board. When you plug in the controller ribbon cable, it looks like it really blocks the fan from being affective anymore. Do others that have installed this controller relocate the fan? I am going to print the feet and swivel pod for the controller that Mike Kelly designed. I guess having the printer up a bit will improve the air flow, but was thinking that maybe I should put a fan blowing down onto the board. That might be a problem with the bottom plate though. Any thoughts?

Sorry I am a total noob and didn't find any other threads addressing this issue. Sorry if this is a dup.

 

Thanks for the reply. Being that you have the beta version, you don't have the bottom plastic plate right? I like your idea of relocation of the fan and wire management. l was thinking with the extra space from the feet, I could even mount the fan on the plate outside blowing in through some cut hole(s). I guess I will just need to order it up and scope things out more when it arrives to see how bad it really is. The videos I saw might have made it look worse than it is. Thanks again for helping out a noob.

 

You know, that actually might be better than blowing air onto the board since it might reduce dust build up. Just thinking of the joys of opening up a PC for the first time in awhile and all the dust bunnies. Maybe I should keep the plate off. Thanks again for helping me think this through. I did dig further in the threads to see what folks came up with for putting the fan in the Beta versions prior to the lid. It's great to see how creative everyone is in this forum.
