Side intake fan mod - how difficult

[Hayley-K]

Hey,

I currently have a super lanboy case but my components are getting pretty toasty in there!!

I wanted to put a 120mm fan in the side window but was wondering how difficult it would be. Could it be done will a drill and a coping saw or will I need something better to cut it with. Also I dont think the edges will need to be too neat as I have seen some trim for sale that will go round the edges.

Im thinking of putting in the bottom left hand corner to cool the graphics card. Here are some pics of the case atm.



Just wanted to know what your opinion on the subject are?

Cool I have some spare off cuts of PVC lying round from when I helped mod the side window on my friends thermaltake shark. I will have a play around and see what happens.

I've just been cutting random shapes in side panel windows today. Only used a dremel.

So long as you take your time and have a steady hand you shouldn't have a problem.

Yeh I did think of a dremmel but I dont really want to go out and buy tools etc. I think I will have a practice at the weekend and c how it goes.
