you can use water, packing peanuts, sand etc to find volume. fill up a cardboard box with whatever media (you can calculate the volume of teh cardboard box), and pour it in.

and yes, you can use any port you like.

Never thought of doing that. Thanks for the idea.

actually a better measurement is to go and get a bean back and use the lil foam beads that come in it for a more accurate CF measuremnt
