If that's the case, I will just let it slip until I get some really bad behaviour. Changing the CMOS battery entails a complete teardown, including removal of the mobo. I might consider cutting hole thru the backside to change the battery. Cover it w/duck tape.

A complete tear down to change a battery every 6-10 years or so seems quite reasonable.  It gives you a chance to clean years of dust off everything.

Your stuff, so drilling a hole is your call.  Just seems like overkill.

Because I don't have a server room with a raised floor and all that, I try to do a tear down and clean of my desktop tower every couple of years.
