[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1099470, member: 109222"] Hi. This are ply wood leavings glued to the mounting board, just to get a bit space between it and the mainboard as there are bolts below the mainboard and it did not lay flat on the ground. And by this the woodscrews get a bit more "meat" to hold. The white colour is only because I've painted the mounting board after I glued all extra wooden parts to it. It's only painted, as told before, to get better adhesive strength. It's white, as I had the colour laying around. If there were pink laying around the mounting board would be pink ;) It's on the front of the drawer that has a gap on the top over the whole length. There is enough space for hot air to flow outside. I've planed to assemble an air channel from PSU to the outside, but it wasn't necessary so I leave it as it is. The airflow is mainly from back holes to front gap. Both, PSU and CPU cooler are forcing the air to go from back to front. This is enough in my case, even on a hot summer day, as proved by daily use. But other circumstances may need other airflow. Best is try and error... That's the way I found my solution without any extra fans. I've planed to add extra fans but did not need them, so I leave them out. Less work and less noise, both is something I "can live with" ;) Maybe it's because of the huge size of the drawer but I really don't need any extra air flow... [/QUOTE]
