Alright, I have one of those clear acrylic cases and it has 5 fan holes, front, back 2 side, and blowhole. The fan holes however, aren't clean cut holes, they have slots going across them. I know those will decrease airflow and I want to cut them out. I only have a dremel, and I have tried some different bits but they do a horriable job job cutting acrylic. What kind of bit should I use to cut the slots out? I DON"T want to mess up my BRAND NEW case!!!!
 
I would suggest getting a very fine cutting bit from dremel and slowly follow a guide such as a pen marking and come back after with a dremel coarse buffer type bit and smoothly shape the edges like you want.
