[P180] Cover holes

Post by Tumlehund » Mon Jan 30, 2006 1:49 am

I recently put together a P180 system. I covered the holes around the PSU with tape, but now I'm wondering if I should also cover the exhaust below the 120mm fan too? I think this exhaust is used for the CPU og GFX exhaust 'system' which I also removed from the case along with the drive cage in the upper chamber and the fan in the lower chamber (was I right in doing this?).

You were right to remove them. I have covered the upper vent, but you have to see for yourself, depending on your hardware.
