Anyone know where to get templates to cut holes for fans?like these (http://www.hitechmods.com/diagrams/fans/80mm_Fan-1.jpg) only 120mm? im tired of drilling those dam holes that hold the fan there to small and have the screw go sideways because i drilled the freakin hole to small!

True,I usually put rubber trim on my fan holes so that pretty much compensates for it.

the actual hole is not the probelm...it the 4 little ones for the screws....

try this put the fan where you want it then trace it, inside and out. After you cut the hole put the fan back in where you traced it and drill the screw holes. Thats the way I did it. If you want a really good cut go on the inside of your circle where you traced the inside of the fan and go about 1/8" -1/4" and draw a nother circle and cut in between the two.
