The first place of the mobo with the first casing (drilled), second casing was the closed one, but for the rest pretty mutch the same as this one. The closed version was to reduces the amount of airflow over the mobo. Can you imagin a mobo that gets to cold:

It was vented by the air that was sucked in by the interieur fan (blower)
Pic 1) is the normal and the modify top of the air-inlet. You can see 4 bolts.
Pic 2) is the backside of the air-inlet with the mobo attached (i was testing the space for the metal bar (black with the grove in it)
Pic 3) the old air-intake. On the bottom you can just see the fan (blower)
Pic 4) the mobo in the car bolted to the air-intake (it had a specific order in witch bolt / screw to tighten up) Putting the mobo in its place took about 30 minutes (some of the nuts where very difficult to reach.
Pic 5) The water draining hole with the wiring
On top of this sites the plastic cover, so all the air comes from the right side:
Cpc was mounted under the black cover on the left
close up cpc (changed the case to a closed type aluminium)
The air-intake is lifted up about 3 cm. And there are two holes that drain the water away. Threw one of the holes i thread the wiring.
The temp of the mobo is about the same as the outside air-temp. If i lived in a hotter country, or the global warming picks up this is still the space i think is the best for the mobo.
I’ll post this too in the worklog, i got a feeling Red’s gone delete this post.
