I didn't get a chance to take pictures of it today, but I did take a
look at my 'long' 8/e... The cover is solid. I didn't take a look at
the hinged side, but the latch side has hexagonal holes for venting.
The tolerences seem very tight between the metal of the case and some
very exposed wiring terminals...
As for my 8/e, although it hums when I apply power, nothing happened
when I turned it on... I checked the fuses, and one of them is
missing... I'll try it again when I replace the fuse (I really should
have checked that to begin with...)
