part 1 of side panel mod :)

[Dissolved]

i got lazy and this took me 4 days total just using a dremel, and a drill.. (went through about 70 of those saw disks for my dremel too heh )

[Warlord2]

good looking holes

you may try a jigsaw with a fine tooth bit if you are going to make any other holes

took me about 1 mins a hole and still made perfect circles

[Ridenow]

Nice

I am a fan(no pun) of hole saws. Perfect everytime, but expensive. Those disks are tricky to work with. Press to hard they break, do not press hard enough they skip around and break.

what is that lighting made with?

Are those UV Fans? Or is that Just a f'ing bright cathode?

I'm with Warlord on this one. Just make sure that at least two teeth are in contact with the metal at all times and use masking tape around the hole. A breeze.:)

maybe on my window, but im still not sure how im gonna do it.. i want to have a 80/92mm fan in my design somehow, and the window around the fan.. so i wont finish my side panel for a while..

[SoothSayer]

My current case is my first attempt at modding. I cut it's two 92mm fan blowholes, and two 8.5"x11" windows in under 5 hours of cutting time with only 7 model 426 reinforced dremmel cutting disks. All cuts came out very smooth, no jagged edges.

'Course I practiced on an old 286 case first and stopped many times to take a break, so it took a full day to complete it all. [And another day to wire the fanbus and put the windows, fans, and lights on - <Thanks Errant!>]

Sorry no pics yet.

no offence and all, but whats the point in posting this in my thread? not really much to the topic to my thread

[SoothSayer]

Oh Sorry, I guess I didn't quite make the point huh? :rolleyes:

The point was that "just using a dremel, and a drill" is plenty - perfect in fact. No jigsaw is necessary. In fact, IMHO a jigsaw doesn't do as clean a job - only a faster job. I had an excellent teacher, and a lot of patience - both necessary items for working on something that is for show.

PS - Your holes look very clean. [Heheh, he said "Hole"... Heheh]

Yeah i meant i was gonna pay that much for a UV reactive fan kit with a blacklight.

[Serrebert]

Ive hearded that U/V neon tend to screw with anotized aluminum stuff (they loose brigtness in their color). Someone know if thats true before i buy one?
