It does look ugly, : though... I did this with a 3.5"? Power supply fan and it didn't look too ugly. Works great, however. I'm surprised that there aren't more fan arrangements like this commercially available. Too many people seem to think that one bay high solutions are the only ones that are viable :-(.
