Re: Monitor Ventilation

Same with my Black Widow. There is a vent hole on the back door cut right
behind the deflection board. A vent cover and an exhaust fan were added.
Might have been part of the Gravitar ->> Black Widow Conversion kit??

I wouldn't think cutting a hole in the HV cage cover would be a good idea.
My Tempest was missing the cover and I was seeing squiggly vectors.
Replacing the cover rectified the problem.
