in most cases you can fit 2 80mm fans side by side at the bottom front of the case. combining 2 fans, you can bring in some decent CFMs without creating too much of a racket.
if using a hole saw is difficult due to metal missing where the auger of the hole saw would otherwise drill and center on, try attaching a piece of wood using screws or bolts behind the face of the case - that way the auger of the hole saw can drill through the wood and hold the saw portion of the tool steady and centered
you can also use a nibbler available at rat shack for about 10 bucks. just nibble away at the case creating whatever cut you need, one nibble at a time.
one more thing you can do to really clean things up us to cut out a rectangular/square shape from the front bottom of the case and attach a piece of abs plastic or sheet metal, or something else suitable to cover your square cut out using screws or bolts. one nice thing about doing this is that you can cut on a fresh virgin surface prior to attaching it to your case without being encumbered by existing case holes/structures when you're making your cuts.
