One suggestion I would like to add, is to use a hot glue gun to stick the 4 short spacers to the back of the printer frame before beginning this mod.  This will greatly facilitate alignment when you reassemble.

Attached fan wires to power supply wires on the electronics board.  Unscrew the small screws, pull out the power cord, wrap fan wire on the power cord leads, put the power cord back into the electronics board and tighten screws.

Make sure the fan is blowing air on the electronics to keep the chips cool.

what size fan does this use?  I might already have one sitting around smile

It is an 80mm fan.  The one I used was the Radio Shack 280-1101.
