Hi Joe
to allow the air to escape, I left a whacking great hole in the top

It performs more like a windtunnel now and is at least as effective as blowing air across it! The shroud does absorb some sound too. Sound isnt really an issue, I never think of it when using the projector, but it does have the sound of a low level computer.
The LCD frame is far more solid with the shroud and will be even moreso once the shroud is attached to the LCD frame not just resting on it.
