Heard a guy at Micro Center rant about airflow in old cases and it clicked for me

I was dead set on stuffing a 4090 into a beige Compaq tower from 1998, but this random dude pointed out I'd just be cooking the GPU with zero intake. He showed me a pic where he cut a mesh panel into the bottom of an old Packard Bell, and now I'm rethinking my whole approach. Anybody else have to cut holes to make a sleeper actually work?

Tried it with a bread knife once. Not great.

Oh no, that sounds rough. Bread knives can be such a pain for other things. Hope it didn't ruin anything important.
