I like it, i'd put a pc fan right there on top blowing up and out just because there is already a vent there to do it with.

A 120 fan cant fit on top. I just place it on a box and it hits the lights and the plants... keeps the bulbs super cool, where i can hold on to them

90mm or 60mm? That's just because I saw that the strip has the vent hole already, I like that thing. Really though, you should have gone with two of those instead of the Y splitters. Aren't those Y splitters like $2 each or more? If that bar was 6-7 I would have just gotten two so I could spread my bulbs out a bit more.
