I like a number of things you did with spacers & such, but did you cover up the PSU's fan with a big piece of acrylic? And then have another fan almost right on the other side of it? Looks like if you cut open a piece of that acrylic, you would have a direct air path from the PSU, through the other fan, and out; while air intake would go in through the cable glands.
Yes, kindda. This is my very first controller box, so I was leaning and testing as I built it.
I drilled holes all around the acrylic, but generally it covers both PSUs, with the side gaps and half inch holes.
In general it runs pretty cool driving 1500 pixels of my mega tree here in NC.

You can get away with all kinds of bad/non-existent thermal engineering at Christmas. I set up my controllers for Halloween in September. It'll hit upper 90's, and the Kulp temperature sensors will shut the Beaglebone down.
Just IMHO it looks very easy to just cut a larger hole above the PSU fan, and you'll get very good airflow (then again, also good water flow, if your box is sitting in the wrong direction).
