Do you chaps think its worth removing the matrix of holes
pre drilled in the case to improve air flow!

(Oh & I dont mean filling them in by removing)

I've taken the battery drill to the holes on the front of my case
& that has not messed up the aesthetics any

Maybe I should put some doors inside, you allways get one major draught when a door is ajar! :D

just might get a bit dusty otherwise mod to your hearts content.:)

j.m....

I did exactly that to reduce air restriction of the two 120mm intake/exhaust fans on each of our Lite-On FS020 cases. Case fans really do not deliver much static pressure, so any reduction in air restriction is well worth the effort, IMO.

to be Frank or Earnest, why I don't know either of them, my case has no sides at all, and it does get a bit dusty in there. But I set too it with a clean paintbrush kept special for this purpose and sometimes a quick suck with the vacuum, thats the case I'm talking about.

I use cooker extractor filter material & it works a treat :p

I have done that. Cut around the edges with a dremel. Very easy to do. It will cost you a can of air a month though or paint brush to clean things off.

My air flow has greatly improved since doing it.

I would cut out the entire stamped grill and place a wire-frame grill over the hole. Better airflow and much quieter!

Right I'm gonna put some Dremel bits in me battery drill.......

Maybe I'll take the gubbins out of my case forst tho' ;)

:D :D :D

[BipolarBill]

gubbins? forst? Are you making this stuff up or what? :p

[Ammok]

gubbins = entrails or whatever else you find inside any particular oject or device. In this case it would be wires cables mobo hdd and any other peice of equipment likly to fail with lots of little bits of metal debris floating around.

Innards removed for safe keeping.:D
