 I've been looking at fan cases, but they all seem to prevent the use of the HAT, which means I won't be able to find out what the ambient temperature is.  I suppose I could design one of my own

  Thanks.
 There appear to be several likely looking cases on Thingiverse (other sites available), so I suspect that I'll download one of those, and if needs be tweak it for my needs.
 

I'll try and post mine somewhere. Finished it last night,. It's working well with two SSDS and a chip temp of around 65°C-75°C dependent on load.
$ vcgencmd measure_temp
temp=68.1'C
Can you tweak STLs?
