OK I've finally downloaded some pics of the "grill" I'm using on my blowhole. Now what's the easiest way to post them? Do they need to be downloaded to a website 1st?
I don't believe you can. You can link pics from a web site. If your Internet provider gives you free space, you can upload them there and link to them in a message.
Yes that's a door speaker grill from a Nissan Sentra.
6" hole under it with only an 80mm fan. There's not enough room for a 120 between the PSU and the harddrive rack. Might be able to squeeze a 92mm in though.
Believe it or not but it helped lower temps by 10'C.

I believe it, i put blowholes in all my Athlon builds, 1000 mhz and up. Best way to help control temps, IMO.
Been doing them by hand with a Dremel but i broke down last week and bought a 79mm hole cutter. Boy, is that a whole lot quicker. Not near as rough on the Dremel cutting discs either. I was going through about 10 per hole.
From what I've seen that hole saw wasn't cheap either!
With a hole as large as this I 1st drilled a hole then cut with a very fine metal jigsaw blade. Came out very nice, just lightly around with a file to smooth of edges.
BTW, the grills were free! This also really helped the harddrive temps in that rack.
