Here is a pic of my new case...it has a plexi glass top with an 80mm fan...I wanna either cut out the plexi for the 80mm or cut a new hole for a 120mm panflow fan...I have never cut plexi before....any tricks of the trade or just dremel it out?????

Where...

Forgot the pic....there it is

somebody forgot the pic lol


but yes a dremel will work they have cutoff wheels just for plexi and stuff

Dremel part # 542

what its for: Use on wood, fiberglass, plastics, and laminates

use a hole-saw....less clean-up than with the dremel

also mask the area your cutting to avoid any scratches

If you already have a hole i recommend dremel with the sanding drum bit coarse paper low medium speed, that way you can enlarge your hole safely without the fear of cracking the plexi.
If you dont have a hole make one 1/4 to 1/2 inch smaller and do as written above better slower and safe than sorry

i have used that method also just forgot about it lol

had to mod the psu hole a lil on the back of my case for the fan control knob on the psu

I wouldn t Case cutters don t work well and takes a long time to cut a hole in a case.

I have the exact same case, I just eyedballed an 80mm circle around the current fan grill. I am also going to put a 120 on the top soon, which I will use a cd & razor to outline the hole, and then mask it off and dremel. Just let the dremel do the work, I tended to put my weight on the plexi, which could result in cracking.

What i do is get masking tape (the blue kind it doesnt leave residue) then tape up both sides and draw out my hole. then i use a jigsaw with a 32tpi blade and cut slowly. I let the edge of the hole hang just off the edge of the bench i am using to cut on. This way the plexi cuts easily and no flexing means no cracks. I just cut the 2nd hole in my side window today and it went without a hitch using that process.

I would use a drill bit to cut plexiglass or lexan, very quick and simple
