I had considered going higher, but I'm thinking bend radius on the plug in cables and the height when the connectors are plugged in as I have planned to put a cover on this box.Quote

- It's more important to cool the underside of the board than the top. I suggest you mount the board higher so that the fan blows more air over the underside.
In this case, I was considering a fan on top of the cover plate blowing down in this area.Quote

- If you will be using a large heated bed current, then you should also blow air over the space between the two large terminal blocks, where the bed mosfet and the VIN PCB trace are.
Underneath of E1 there is a curved deflector to send the air under the CPU and towards the exit vent slots. Of course, I have not modeled this with any sort of air flow modeler to know if my deflector will work or not.Quote

- The air at the end of the board farthest from the fan has nowhere to go, so the E1 stepper driver won't be cooled very well. I suggest you put the air exit vents to the left of the holes for the Reset and Erase buttons.
