Here is my fan...

lol, duct tape and chicken wire

The fan is an antec 3 120mm speed fan I had laying around. I wired it by using an old Linksys router power cord which matched to the fan well.

It took me maybe one hour to make, notice the holes at the bottom to pull the cold air in and up.

That's pretty damn sweet! I would pay for one of those instead of having to make it!
 
Here's a couple of pics on how I mounted the fan. This is a 110v AC 180mm muffin fan. I run it continuously. The fan blows downward. I feel that this mod was a major improvement and well worth the effort:

that's brilliant. i've been trying to figure out where to mount my fan once it gets here. are there nuts on the back side of the plastic lining that it screws into?

No, I used 1/8" toggle bolts about 4" long. Had to cut shorten them to about 3" to get enough clearance behind the lid liner. The plastic liner is too flimsy to screw into directly. You could probably use some plastic inserts if you were careful. You can buy the nylon spacers at most any hardware store. They are just generic nylon spacers and they are cheap. If you use toggles, be sure to cut them to the right length and buy a couple of extra ones in case you lose the butterfly part up in the lid, which is easy to do if you are not used to working with toggle bolts.

I wanted the fan to be out of my way and not taking up any floor space. I don't think it matters much where you direct the air flow so long as you keep the air circulating.
