I'm thinking of cutting a rectangular blow holes for my rad on top of the case and I was looking for some pics of how they look with a grill on them.
What I mean is blowholes that are actually a square with the corners pushed in.

I have a 120mm Panafloe pulling warm air out of the top of my rig:

Exactly what I was looking for but I wanted a round grill on top.
Thanks though!
P.S
You have a template for that?

I just used a tape measure & straight edge to mark the top of the case with a pencil. I then masked off the area around the outside edge of the hole with blue Painter's Tape & cut it out with my Craftsman Rotary Tool ( similar to a Dremel). The grill is from scrap black expanded metal I had left over from a rain gutter leaf guard project. The case then got a light coat of gloss black paint to cover the exposed edges. It must work pretty well: with the other cooling mods( http://www.ocforums.com/showpost.php?p=2985524&postcount=2302 ) I've done, I see no difference in temps with the case open or closed.
