Default VTC4U? Is that the name of the tube tower/shroud seller?

Taiwan or Hong Kong I'm referring to has those tower things plus tube socket/plates with ventilation holes . Can't find him on E-Bay now.

VT4C.com has an nice selection of knobs also...for cheap. The aluminum disc tube socket mounts are nice too. I have a few of those that are waiting for a project.

Default Do ventilation holes make sense?

Nearly the whole tube is above the top plate in my builds. Is it just aesthetics?
