There’s the problem, his BTX system is missing its airflow diverter!

It's also backwards

Good catch! I haven’t messed with one of those systems since the P4 era, i had two that were the only systems I scrapped before they died, they were just that mix of indestructible, dog slow, and with absolutely no upgrade path whatsoever

Which is quite a shame, really. I had a BTX Dell, which had amazing potential to be upgraded, since nearly everything was just spring latches, and could be slid open quite easily. You could install and swap most parts without a screwdriver.

The potential to upgrade it was there, and then it just never materialised, so the entire thing ended up basically being useless.
