    How susceptible is the FX series laptop's hard drive bay to dust? I'm considering cutting another vent in it and blowing air in one vent and out the other with a fan.

    In my opinion, you'd be introducing FAR MORE dust into the hard-drive bay by doing that than it would otherwise see!

    I'd just leave it alone. I'm sure they built it to function in a good manner.

    Can you get a metal cover to replace the plastic one?
