    Yes, I was thinking of that but the back of the server is somewhat
    inaccessible and I haven't had the opportunity to investigate yet.  The
    idea of spraying the interior of the server with metal fragments as I
    mash out the cutout is unattractive as well, I have to say.

    Thanks also to Mark who just came in with the same idea.  I think this
    is the way to go.  I'm investigating the parts now.  Hardware isn't my
    core skill-set so I have to obtain advice first.

    Michael.
