that makes sense, just be aware that having the fan or wiring near the neck of the crt or any other part of it will deflect the beam, after all, that's what those windings on the neck are for, and it's most sensitive near the back of the neck. it's somewhat ugly but i've always mounted the fans to the outside of the case to help avoid these problems. i don't have a case in front of me so i'm not sure if you can still do what you want to that way. one thing, if you replace the small internal fan with a big one externally in the same place, you can then use the small fan internally for spot cooling. but like i said, i haven't looked at the cases lately and i'm not familiar with your excelerator. you of course also might consider adding or enlarging existing holes in strategic locations, it's a hack, but your already well into the hack road it sounds like.
