Hi greg....top and bottom for sure, but still undecided regarding the sides.

Something like this



or this

Hmm, aluminum or oak
Either would look very nice. I like the idea of it being recessed into the edging.
Get on it, we want to see
If you decide to make the top of the fixture really flush, these PC fan grilles catch lots of dust and then you just vacuum them off
I run them on my office tower and they don't create extra noise, even at 1600rpm

I shoulda mentioned ...
These grilles/filters go between the fan and acrylic so all you see is the dome
The holes are about 1.5mm. Avoid the ones with larger holes as you will get noise

If you can't find them, I ordered mine from Performance PCs
Site is very slow to load
This is the filter page - 80mm is at the bottom

Idea I have for the mounting bracket.



Still thinking of the material, but leaning towards clear 1/2" polished acrylic. It would be nice if the light from the fixture would illuminate the edges of the bracket as well.

How's the wood holding up? Mdf is probably the worse type to use near any water as it absorbs moisture and expand. Great looking top btw
