The standard Soekris case for the Net6501 has holes drilled in the side
where the fan would go - but not enough holes.  The problem is that
about 1/2 of the entire fan is blocked by undrilled sheet metal.

It would be nice if the standard case had additional drilled holes so
that the area next to the fan had a full array of holes for airflow.

It could also be useful to have holes drilled in the case lid above the
processor.
