Thank you Yachtsman I was looking to build a laptop drawer/ stand for the garage to store my laptop. ( Garage is a work area with front and rear doors where I do auto/mechanical/woodworking/home projects. VERY dusty,very quickly ) I will actually use the design without the fan setup and use the drawer to store the laptop and accessories.( Use the entire area under the platform for the laptop and build a back compartment for the accessories/power supply I had a rough idea of what I needed. This idea brought me back down to earth - I was getting way more intricate and I didn't need to go so far in my design.
Thanks again
Cheers G
p.s. I wonder ........ if you made a kit, cut the pieces pre-drilled the vent holes and pre-drilled the screw locations add the screws, Soldered up the USB cable to the fans added the pictures with notes,bag and boxed it and Ebayed it for $25 plus $11.shipping who knows. you may have a side business here.

with the drawer below the front, can you still comfortably type on it?
