Well the journey has begun. All the goodies have arrived, and appear in good nick. Assembly starts - OMG! Where???
Build a box dummy .....
After much thought, I found these tool boxes at Masters. These will not be waterproof, but they will be in a relatively protected area.
Seemed like a good idea to extract some heat, and I happened to have a fan idling about. The box seems to have an spot custom made for it.
Next I precisely cut out a piece of 9mm ply to fit the bottom of the box. Ahem, then trimmed a bit around the bulgy bit I hadn't noticed .......
Bought some MAB brackets (top) from Bunnings, and bent and cut the buggers to look like the bottom one.

Just a thought, and I cannot read your mind, or see the whole of your box, But 2 things I suggest.
you need a hole for the air to either enter or escape (depending if the fan is pushing or pulling) and I would add some insect screen over the hole also, unless you are confident you won't get insects where you are.
If the fan is at the bottom of the box, you can add a couple of holes at the top and put a pvc elbow or similar on, so any possible water spray etc cannot run down into it.
otherwise.... Looking good

Geez. The beast is alive! Three days of tears streaming down my cheeks trying to make sequencers talk to the beast, and at last, "Eureka!", the beginning of understanding started to light up behind my eyes. Vixen3, I suspect thou art a powerful beast indeed!
