Shuttle Case Modding

[Rabs]

I'm planning on doing a bit of modding with my shuttle SB65G2.

The plan is to put a couple of 60mm fans at the back and cut out the radiator fan grill.

The fan grill is the easy bit as im going to use a 'nibbler', for the actual holes I could use my dremel but I was browsing various forums and came across this...



Its a sheet metal hole punch made by q-max. Anyone actually used one of these, they are supposed to give a near perfect finish, less effort is nice...

Or should I just stop being a lazy git and use the good old dremel?

Theres a uk supplier for them, just need to find somewhere cheaper if poss. I might nip to B&Q and have a look for something similar.

47mm seems to be the biggest size listed on there.........bit shy of your 60mm ambition.

Rabs is going to use his nibbler for the fan holes themselves -- he wants the mini-press for the screw holes to mount the fans to. Unless I've misunderstood him, anyway.

[Rabs]

Yep the nibblers for the rear fan 'grill', the above tool would be for 2 x 60mm top 'blowhole' case fans.

Yeah but as Joe says they only go up to 47mm, and get bloody expensive at that size too! Give the dremel a go!

I have one of these ... never used it!
