I have read several times on here about people taking the surround off their insert to enable the heat to get out that is trapped inside. Has anyone tried mounting a small fan, like the little square ones inside computers, to the top corners of the surround? Would have to drill some holes and wire them in with the regular blower but it would seem you could keep the buttoned up look and still get all the heat. Anyone ever tried it, and if so, how well did it work?
