Can it work without the back panel to allow cords/ventilation?

Yes. That's how i have mine. It does feel a little wobbly but as long as you don't move it too much and keep it on a solid surface it should work just fine.

I think u need the back panel to keep it steady but it is thin so u can probably cut spaces out for cords and ventilation.

I would not take the back, as that can make it weak, however, what I would do is open holes to put the chords through. Just an idea.

Not that I know of, but I'd recommend contacting them. The probe cord goes into the base unit, so you'd have to remove the back. It's not bad at all if you have a place to park the unit relatively near the window--I'm looking at ours right now and we're about a foot away from the window.

I think that would work just fine. The pigtail for the heat and humidity is just like the end of an extension cord, so you certainly have room.

Yes, it would, as the base does not have vent holes and the computer sits flat on the stand. My computer, also a Dell, does not have vent holes on the bottom, only on the sides and the main fan vent on the back. My vents on the side line up with the holes in the stand no problem, and of course the rear fan is not obstructed at all. I have absolutely no concerns about ventilation on my computer case.

I would say more so than most speakers but the controls are exposed on the back. You would not want moisture to collect on the back of the unit at all. You could cover the back with a tarp or something protective but then I would expect heat to be an issue.

Yes you can, you just need a small screw driver to get the panel in the back open.

It is not designed that way. But, it would not be too sifficult to cut out the clear back panel - it would be permanent.

There should be enough ventilation but you can always put more holes in the back if you need more air circulation

You could... but I would not. It's not designed to be used that way, so it would not be convenient and there could be an issue with the venting. It has a large vent on the side - you would not want that on the bottom and you would not want to put anything on top of it. The power switch is on top and would be inconvenient on the side. Lastly, it has rubber feet on the bottom and they would look weird on the side, plus you would not have feet if you laid it on its side. Otherwise, you COULD do it.

If you mean being able to have a hood vent fan without a connection to a vent - yes

I don't see why not, but air flow operates from the back so you would have to arrange venting from the cabinet or the unit would overheat.

In the back there's a 3" opening right down the middle. you can actually see it in the picture. This is used to route all the wires out the back but I'm sure would also provide a lot of ventilation.

No cover on the back - so as long as you have a small gap before the wall the air can move

There is a backing. But it would be easy to cut out a hole for an outlet. Or you could just not put the backing on.

You could do that. There are holes in the back of the unit. Vent holes for the air to pass through to the sensors, a lot of them. Space for wire to be sewn through and then tied off to a wire cage. Good luck!

There are just 4 holes in the back for the wires to go through one for each slot but you could probably drill some small holes for added ventilation through the back.

If you are just trying to get your cords out the back, it might be better to leave the back piece on and drill a two inch hole to pass your cords thru. This would allow for more or less complete structural integrity.
