Those holes are easy to miss, even when you look for them. I completely
forgot about them and griped about poor planning for good air movement
until Eric pointed them out to me <G>.

Hi

The K2 already has several places the air can flow out of. The air is
drawn in by the fan and can exit between the top front cover and the
heatsink fins. Air also can flow under the control board around the
front of the RF board and out through the slots on the bottom. You can
feel the air exiting the slots in the bottom with the fan on high. So
the heating problem is not due to a lack of air exhausts.
