I took two small rectangles of cardboard, punched a hole at one end, 
and secured them to the back of the K2 using the chassis screws.

The 12V 3" fans are lashed together using cable zip-ties and are 
simply laid on top, blowing down.

With the K2 tilted up (necessary for me) the fans slide down and rest 
against the cardboard stops. I suppose you could use metal stops for a 
more elegant look, but the two fans sitting on top make that seem pointless.

Using the fans I can run full tilt RTTY without worry.
