    On the G1s, theres only one vent. Open the cover that is closes to the vent and you will see the CPU and the GPU laying in close proximity. One of the reasons why the G1s is so HOT. :D

    There's only a few panels removable on the back - the HDD, the RAM, and the CPU + GPU.

    Btw: Git off my avatar.
