less dust accumulation during PC assembly.
Is that really that much of a problem?
Out of all the things on a PC that I wish were a little safer, that was the last.
The IO shield however, is an evil thing designed to extract my blood…
- IO shields are more or less built into the board these days
  Now, case fans on the other hand, are surprisingly sharp
  
  The heatsink on my goddamn CPU fan took a blood sacrifice in my last build. Razor sharp.
- LMAO, I was just digging in a box of parts leftover at my folk's house the other day and got sliced on my fingertip, it felt so sharp I thought for sure somehow a razor blade had gotten in there.
  Nope, it was one of those fuckers
I'm not sure why they call it neutered, but it is nice getting poked a bit less by the back of the board.
Seems unnecessary...
I wish all MBs just get rid of the GPU latch thing.
Is it still possible to desolder and replace those connectors if needed? Like, did they just grind down the joints?
