| 833268 | 2009-11-24 21:25:00 | My case has one of those badly designed fan grilles on the back which clog up with dust and prevent good airflow even when it's not clogged with dust. I want to cut the whole thing out and replace it with one of proper design. But what to do about preventing rust on the newly cut edges? I have seen this on another case and it caused rusty edges Fisholene sprang to mind but I think I'd rather not use that for obvious reasons... |

| 833272 | 2009-11-25 00:17:00 | To avoid rust, always hose down your PC thoroughly inside and out after using it in salt water. I'll make a note of it, for future reference The problem is that my house is not the driest at times and moisture in the air would also cause it to rust I'm sure (I have seen it on other cases too where they have been cut) |
