As usual, we're running tight on space with our electronics, and it looks like we can't leave any more than 1/2" of space above those fans.

Anyone cut it this close before? In the past, we've left at least 2-3" above the fans.

Shawn,
1/2" should be OK if the controllers are not close to each other. If they are packed in tight you might want a little more than that. Remember that if they are too close, then the air the fan pulls through for cooling is actually it's own heated air coming back. Like recirculate on your car, the air just gets hotter and hotter.
