Draper do one but I think you're gonna struggle cutting metal with it...

Your biggest problem will be keeping it steady whilst cutting....

Edit: Think I've found what you're after....

Sorry I missed all the fun over here....

The first tool is more for very soft materials like woods. That can be very unsafe on metals or plastics.

The second link to the Bi-Metal hole saws is an excellent choice for cutting alum,plastics and even steels (just wears down quite a bit faster with steel)

And to the folks saying not to use tin snips:shadedshu I have been using them way before most of you were even born and if you get the right ones and learn to use them correctly (takes a bit of trial and error) you can cut circles just as nice as a hole saw.

on the tin snips I would definitely spend a bit more $ and get the absolutely best ones possible (the best ones arent that much $$) And dont forget the ones designed for curves make much nicer cuts and they cut straight lines just as good as the straight tin snips.

FS, UserCP didn't tell me about these posts!

phanbuey, i've decided to use my Dremel. It'll take longer, but it's cheaper and less hassle.

MK, i love the tin snips. And im planning on getting some curved ones when im next in town.

I've started cutting the fan section. However, i doubt i'll get it finished today. Looks like rain and it nearly neighbors home time... don't want to cause any arguments over the noise im making.

I'll get pictures in a mo.

Rain? sounds so nice... Its been 100F here for quite a while now.... :laugh:

So you made the track first... very nice... I always just cut, but it seems like a track would make it so much easier.

+1... great idea!

MoonPig · Jul 23, 2009

I did it so i could cut it without the card template.

kyle2020 · Jul 23, 2009

you gonna use some rubber edge molding stuff around the cut?

MoonPig · Jul 23, 2009

I think i'll just sand/file it till it's smooth then im covering the underside of the hole in mesh. So it should be snug

ste2425 · Jul 23, 2009

wat you gonna do bout the holes on the top thats left?

MoonPig · Jul 23, 2009

cry over them for abit, then just hope it being completely black might help not notice them

ste2425 · Jul 23, 2009

aaa fair enough why not try some sort of black film over the whole top?

MoonPig · Jul 23, 2009

hmmm... Maybe... Could work...

I'll see when i get this complete.

MoonPig · Jul 24, 2009

She's finally taking shape:

phanbuey · Jul 24, 2009

Need some fatty rubber case feet to get that sucker off the ground... or even better - wheels!

MoonPig · Jul 24, 2009

Im getting feet for it, don't want to use Wheels... lol.

Mmmmm, Minestrone soup

perfect application! :respect:

I love it when people have the patience to create a guide line for the cut. lots of :respect:

for that! I only wish I had the same patience everytime I try a cut :ohwell:

anyway, if wheels is not part of your dream rig, then anti-vibration feet should be! try to look for something like this...

MoonPig · Jul 24, 2009

Yea, i know what i want - but that's looking along way away... haha

Just been doing some trimming on the Mobo tray (making Cable holes bigger).

I need some thought on what yo do with these bits:

tzitzibp · Jul 24, 2009

measure the fan plate, get a piece of perspex (acrylic) and copy the measurements to make an acrylic plate (without the hex-grill) and you are set! even try coloured acrylic! :cool:

MoonPig · Jul 24, 2009

I have some UV Green lying around... lol.

phanbuey · Jul 24, 2009

So Im taking it that you don't want a fan there? UV green doesn't really go with the black/white color scheme... may get some clear acryllic and some automotive mirror tint.

That might actually not be a bad idea for the side window... mirror tint...
