Paranoid Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 It took you two days? I used cutting wheels to put a window in, and it took an hour and a half. I can do a fan hole in an hour. To do one of each, I used 6 cutoff wheels. Are you sure you're not going against the dremel's spin? That can really slow down cutting speed, and break the cutoff wheels.

LedBelly Posted January 9, 2004 Posted January 9, 2004 I cut holes for fans in the top and side of my case using an 83mm hole-saw. It cost $14 from Lowes, but you could probably find one cheaper. It took me about 10-seconds to actually cut the hole and then a couple minutes to drill holes to attach the fan. That mod has dropped my temps 6-8 degrees C. I put a 6000 rpm thermaltake smart case fan on top as an exhaust and luckily it has a manual control because it is super loud over 2500 rpms, but it moves a TON of air!

KiLZo Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 (edited) Ok i have figured out what not to use when cutting on a case.... was modding a fan hole on a case the other nite and i had a kick back on a holesaw and it hit me in the belly costing me 21 stiches ..... remind me not to use that again !

Nuclear Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 I generally like to use a Jig-saw for cutting windows, and hole-saws for the blow-holes and fan mounts. I can cut a window in under 10 min with a jig-saw, it was the best modding investment I've made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
