but why. leaving holes is good for equalizing the pressure!

Holes do not equalize pressure fan speed does. Also allows for more dust.

Hoper there are similar covers for CDROM bays because I sold mine (I don't use it) and now I have a big hole covered with paper lol

Didn't you keep the original front bay cover that you removed when installing the optical drive?

The computer was originally bought second hand in 1999 IIRC, with the CD drive, and it didn't came with the cover. If you saw the tower you would think it has a Pentium II and Windows 98 as it has the original stickers.

I've replaced everything over time but the case, maybe it will be the next thing...
