RAM doesn't even get that hot, not enough to put a huge hole in the bottom of your netbook for foreign objects to collect anyway.

Dangerous (for the machine).
Since these are just stuck-on, a person would do better to take time cutting 4 neat slots for the heatsinks, putting the cover back and then fixing the sinks. If they're tight in the case there's less chance of them moving.
Does your RAM get very hot?

I can't imagine having a large open slot like that in your Eee will do it much good, foreign objects etc. The amount of "stuff" (fluff, dirt, hair, a stick??!) I found in my Eee with no mods I can't imagine of stuff that what would end up in there with a gaping hole.

A good idea though, have you done anymore mods to it?
