ya know when u buy a case and u need to wiggle those metals behind the case behind the agp,pcie,pci slots.

 

[Greggie Boy]

Do you mean "stand offs" that seperate the mobo from the case ?

 

[kyllc]

no, he's talking about the metal slats that cover the unused expansion slots in the rear of the computer. I'd call them Expansion slot dust covers

 

[apj101]

do you want to know the name of the covers of the name of the process of removing them

[Chris Chan]

I always use a #1. They're called slot blanks.

 

[Lamilia]

I always use a #1.

almost every screw on a Pc is #2 size.

 

[34erd]

I thought they were called PCI backplates

 

[Chris Chan]

@Lamilia: Weird. I use #1 with no probs, maybe I'll switch now that you tell me.
