    That's really great Clunk

    I have an alternative sugestion as well, don't cut a round hole.

    When I added a 120mm fan to the side of my case a hole saw was out as I don't have a drill, to make screw holes I used a drill bit in my rotary tool(drimmel but not a drimmel drimmel) I'd not advise that if you need to make lots of holes, but for 4 holes for fan screws it was ok. (should note my rotary tool has a speed setting so I can slow it right down for drilling)
    Now what I did was to draw out a square, devide each side by 4, then take the corners off at 45 degrees to form a rough octogon, if you don't cut all the way to the corners you can then round them off slightly.
    This can all be done eaisly with a rotary tool as you just have to be able to cut stright lines.
    Here's what it looked like when I did it.

    The fan guard also helps to hide the fact it's not round.
