Yeah, I'm putting it in a Argon ONE M.2 case which has a built-fan.  From 
my experience, just setting a Pi4 on edge is usually enough so it can 
radiate from the top and bottom surfaces, but for this I want to give it a 
bit of protection from dust build-up.

With the firmware updates over the past year, the RPi4 is not as sensitive 
as it originally was.
