Nope. I didnt want do do any machining beyond drilling holes and wanted
to keep even those at a minimum. So i decided to try first w/o anything
and just glued the fan in. No cut outs, no holes, nothing. The only thing
i did was to close all other holes on the side of the fan, so that the
hot air just blown out would not enter again trough those holes again.

Then you have to measure how much space you've at the top and decide
based on that. Rule of thumb: the more "thicknes" your fan has the more
airflow you can get at the same noise level.

I'm sure you can get any fan there too, but buying it at an electronics
shop gives you the advantage, that you get to know the parameters of
the fan beforehand, most imprtanly air flow and noise level.
