No problem. The link M4gic posted... http://www.instructables.com/id/WIFI-Antenna-Hack!/ ...should work fine.

Lots of little things on the go at once... Today I have cut a hole in the bottom of the case to mount an exhaust fan. It's the only place I had left to put a fan. Lazzer, I did some tests to see how effective it would be as an intake, and looks like you were right, it needs more clearance underneath. But as exhaust it's ok (running it at low speed btw)

Looks a bit rough underneath, but I will tidy that up some time. I'll sort out the wiring first.

On second thought, I can't solder that! It's too small! It's beyond my skill, equipment and quite frankly, eyesight.

Can you grind your tip smaller?

I don't think that's a good idea. I'm going to give up on this antenna extension for now.

In other news, here's the proof that the fan is working:

Unfortunately, it seems to be taking most of its air straight in from the nearby slots:

I'll have to cover those up somehow.

But overall it's looking pretty good. I've moved a few things around, unsheathed the wifi dongle, glued the keyboard cable along the side of the case, taped up the mobo power cables, got rid of the unused molex connector, removed all that unsightly white insulation tape and shifted the power connector block to make room for the fan. Everything it fitting quite snugly now.

You could always use some little rubber stick on feet to get some extra clearance if having the fan as intake would work better.

( Simple mods are fine too
