Cut for 120mm fan...

[Oneiron]

I have just ordered 4 120mm fans I will install in my tower. I need some schematics or something so that I can draw where to cut on my case so that the 120mm fans will fit. Do any of you know where I can find such a thing on the web? (something printable to draw by would be great!)
thx

to cut my 90mm fan holes i went to the store and bought a hole saw that cut a hole about 90mm (it was for 89mm or 3.5inches) after drilling the holes i grabbed a fan guard and placed it down on the hole and marked where i needed to make the holes for the screws.

The fan guard (or the fan itself) is allready a template so it shouldnt hurt to use it for that.

you can see my fan holes here:

Thx, but as I said I need one for 120mm... and they don't go higher then 92mm. (I guess I could make one myself from the 92mm one, but I just want to make sure I get the correct sizes!)

USE YOUR FAN AS THE TAMPLATE!!!

Ooops, sorry, I didn't stop to read it.

Try resizing the drawing with a paintshop type program. The outside square should be about 4.72 inches.
Crop the image to the outside of the square, then resize.

I DON'T HAVE THE FAN YET!!

A friend of mine does this kind of thing for a living, and he is going to do it for me. The problem is he has to do it on tuesday, and I get my fan on wednesday. See my problem? If he can't do it next week, I'll have to wait until he gets back from holliday in 2 weeks.

Diggrr: ok, good idea. I'll try that.

You can use a CD as a template for the hole, it's about the same size...

Oh. PsychoPhreak has a valid point: CDs are 120mm in diameter.

CDs work the best I just finished cutting out my 120mm hole today
