    nibblers?

    hi there

    ive buggered the cover on my sn41g2,it was my first attempt at using a holesaw and well the hole looks abit nasty to put it mildly

    my aim is to put a 60mm intake fan on the side of the case infront of the power supply nexto the 12v connector but it has now turned into a 70mm fan and i need to redesign the errrm "hole"

    im now planing to make it a small square hole so the fan and the vents on the psu have access to clean air,ive heard a little about nibblers but would like to know how affective they are and where to buy and how much?

    or would u reccomend that i use a jigsaw with a metal blade?

    thnx

    Niblers are used for cutting sheet metal but only for basic shapes- you could not use them to cut or extend a small (less than perhaps 6")hole. and anyway you would be looking at probably £120-200. Echo previous post - your best bet would be Dremel or one of thier generic copies- about £20

    Are hole-saw's not good for that kind of thing?

    Ive only ever used them for wood, but they do make a clean job....
