I won't repost the entire thread, but here is a redirect to my post in the case mod forums.

Other than my kneejerk reaction of "check the hole for pads / voltage!" that is a very cool mod... I'm about to rip my system apart to install watercooling, and I think I may do this. I wonder if you can find 6/32 nylon rod?
Thank you!

If it's a screw hole then it should be isolated. Nice mod. Quick, easy, cheap, looks decent.

Ask and you shall receive. Here is a link for a #6-32 nylon rod.

Also available in #4-40.

Yes, it appears to be isolated as it was a screw hole. To be on the safe side, the hex nuts on the rod are set off from the backplate and card by nylon and/or neoprene washers.

They have hooks and blowers, which is kind of the same thing...
