    120mm Fan Blowhole.

    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 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.
