Dude! You're losing your whole focus here! The best mods are the ones that look neat but are lazy! LOL You've been doing this long enough to know THAT.

You should be able to open up the PSU and find the thermistor that regulates the fan control. It will most certainly be attached to the heat sink of the output FETs. There's no reason you couldn't run it outside the PSU and into the case somewhere. Use some shielded conductor wire, though. Add a quick-connect fitting with gold contacts, or at least make it so you can easily remove the thermistor if you need to extract the PSU, though.
