There's my biggest "flaw" (although personally I think it's a strength!) ---- I have to look at the whole picture to make sure that the first thing I build works well with the last thing I build. The hood design could be affected by the type/size fan I want to use, and the fan type/size could be affected by the hood I build. If I want to get a smaller fan to reduce the noise level, then I will need a smaller face opening in the hood. If a larger fan that is quiet is available, then I'll make the hood larger so I can have more elbow room. If I can get a variable speed fan, then I could design the hood/box in such a way that it could be used for different purposes. I'm just a big picture kinda gal!

Ultimately I would want a quiet larger fan with variable speed and a larger hood/box.

This is the easiest way...
