Nice looking build... and now the length of your bolts make sense now you're using them to suspend the board! :-) Did you end up having to cut the bolts holding the fan on flush, or is there still enough separation between the board and the ends of the bolts?Looking forward to seeing the finished unit... are you going to be putting slots down the side for the USB, or is that going to be a remotely accessed (wifi?) box? It's just that the USB and ethernet ports look to have ended up just a bit too far away from the sides for comfort... :-O

btw, meant to ask, with your python script... have you got it set to only start the fan once the CPU gets above a certain temperature? And is there any hysteresis so it doesn't keep oscillating on and off? I have a custom fan controller on the switching regulator board that comes from my 12v solar supply, which steps the voltage up to 19v for laptops, and I use a 90mm fan with a hydraumatic (fluid) bearing, and is darn near silent when when running full blast (except for the sound of air rushing through it, and undetectable when running at low revs. When the power supply is loaded up for long periods and is starting to warm up, the fan just needs to kick in for about 30 seconds on low, drops the temperature a few degrees below the trigger temperature, and then shuts down again for a couple of minutes until the temperature shoots past the threshold again. Pretty handy as a desk fan when it starts warming up in summer to! xD
