Used to have a good few more than I do now - last ones I picked up were a pair of 3800DP/2M/800 Irwindales (SL7ZB) this time last year for 9 euros, bur prices seem to have risen quite a bit since then. I also still have pair of 3600DP/1M/800 Nocona (SL7VF) pair of 3200DP/2M/800 Irwindale (SL7ZE) …

So something like these - http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1298/cpa-01 … _Bay_Cover.html http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1299/cpa-02 … _Bay_Cover.html -might be more suitable

You could fix a couple of short lengths of matchstick, vertically one either side, to act as a stopper / ledge and fit a suitable cover against those. Alternatively, Lian Li make screw in 3.5 alu bay covers (only in black / silver) which you could paint if needed.

Could you not re-jig the pins on a standard bracket header (assuming you're not wanting IR functions) or as an alternative, use something like the Startech USBPS2PLATE off of one of the USB headers?

According to the online manual (for a 5AGM3) the 8 pins nearest the board edge are for USB and the remaining pins are split between IR and PS/2 mouse; like this

No, the hole isn't the cause of any corruption - as Baoran says it allows 40/80 conductor detection at the connector (@GND) and the hole then allows the same conductor to carry any master/slave diagnostic comms traffic. Not all 80-wire cables have the hole, as the same results can be had by omitting …

Yeah, not something anyone is likely to carry in stock now. Did see one (scrap case) on the Bay which still had it intact (can we post links here?) - guess it depends how much you're willing to pay for that finished effect.

First post (so make it a good one!) According to the service manual it's part # 49P4370 - Bezel Kit (Pearl White)
