i drilled 4 holes used a jig saw to connect them and covered the edges with electrical tape

my case already came standard with a hole behind the socket, weird though, because all different boards have different cpu mount spots. guess i was lucky

, small but defo handy mod!

Cheers, Turando

Very good idea, and a real time-and-aggravation saver.

I did that to my first case, but my current case is a solid aluminum rackmount and if I wanted access to the back of the board I'd have to cut all the way through (the motherboard attaches to the side of the case directly).

That would be a funny window mod...

not sure but would that help in cooling a tad bit?

ya i heard it does really good but not theres not not really a good way to tell if you dont have on-diode heat reading capable mobo, oh and you'd have to stick a fan on there
