Mine is currently being shipped and I am trying to learn as much about it as possible, I haven't been all that good with hardware up until this point but I'm trying to learn. If someone could help me with this (what I think is easy?) issue, than I'd be greatly appreciated!
You could manufacture some struts to hold a fan above the board (you could include a heatsink as well), and then affix them directly onto the board (using blutack?) -the only issue would be stability - you don't want the Pine to get knocked and the fan to fall over.
Personally I would make a square/circular cutaway in whatever case you get/make and then drill (4) holes around the perimeter and mount the fan that way. Use nuts and bolts to hold the fan firmly in place.
