I to am waiting for a case, I want the tablet case so I will be waiting for a while, in the mean time, I have been using it on my TV and while the heat-sink helped I wanted a little more cooling.  I had the aforementioned 12v fan, but the new 5v fan came in and here are images of it.  I have it connected to pins 4 and 6 of the pi bus, that's 5v and ground respectively.  The only problem is the way that it sits over the Lego studs has the fan blowing air out of the case instead of in over the heat-sink.  While this is sub-optimal it will help I am sure.  I have corner sloped pieces coming from brick link along with the newer version of this hinge that has stops built in and thus will hold up the lid better.  I may keep this Lego case for my bench pine, currently I am thinking I can break out the euler and pi headers with ribbon cables that slip through a slot in the sides built with a plate then a gap then a standard 1x8 or 1x10 depending on how large it is, this will give me just enough space to have a ribbon cable run through the sides. and then connect that to a bread board or something.
I also have an idea to build a grate on top of it to keep fingers from hitting it.  I got to find out if there is a way to switch the direction of the fan.  The idea was to make it look sorta cooling tower esque... but the black would not work for that I would have to switch to a more grey color or something to make it look kind of Power Plant esque.
