Ok, I need the best 120mm blowhole guide there is. I'm using a jigsaw and I just want the best guide there is. I looked all over google, and I searched the sharky forums, but I need something with good pics and instructions. Thanks in advance.:)

Well, I don't have pics, but if i were you id just trace around the around the fan itself, and start cutting :p Or, you may want to trace the circle from the fan onto some cardboard or something, then trace that onto the case so itll be easier, then just drill a hole in the middle of the trace, and cut away :)

a CD is about the right size of a 120mm fan.... but what i do is use the grille of a 120mm fan.. i drill a hole where i want one corner, then i screw that corner in.. then i drill the opposite corner and screw that down.. then i drill through the other 2 corners of the fan grille, that way, the screw holes are garenteed to line up. then i just take a fine permanent marker and go around the edge of the fan grille for the middle.

Don't need no stinking drawings. Just use a fan grille as your pattern. You'll also need the correct size drill for the mounting holes and a larger one for your starter hole for the jig saw. Use real fine grade sandpaper to clean the cut up some. Mount the fan/grille with the plastic snap-in mountings.
