I think he runs his 24 pin around the edge of the mobo tray and over the res. I did the hole so I could pass it under the edge of the mobo. Whatever you like is really the key.

He finally got back to me (actually it was a few days ago) and he said he use to use plugs, but he doesn't anymore as they are not needed.

Guess I'll see what my local powder coaters say

We either plug the hole, or tap it afterwards.

I'm having mine done at Mountain Mods and I think it's similar (maybe a touch more, but I really like their work)
