I'd rather you make sure that top is the main exhaust port...

What about... cut up a wood panel to fit and use that area like a small table?

Black construction paper?

Dust isn't getting in that way if it's an actual exhaust ;)

I probably wouldn't cover it, but I think your choices are awfully limited for something that wouldn't look stupid.

To make it look good, I think you'd actually have to but another case and cut a piece of it with a dremel to fit.
Maybe you can get a broke one cheap on ebay?

I was actually thinking construction paper myself lol. I think a piece of wood might stick out like a sore thumb,
even if you painted it black. Might not look too bad if you used a semi gloss paint.

Oh yeah I remember my old cases (P180/182) have an angled thingy on the top exhaust.

Could try applying that concept.
