Who can cut into a Case?

mickeymbbc · 03-12-2009, 06:17 AM

I wanted to kind of customize one of my old cases because I am low on money. I would like to cut one circle on the side and put a glowing fan on to it for looks and more ventilation. Does anyone know who I can bring the side of my case to, so they can cut a neat hole into it for me? I definately am not doing it myself, I cannot tie my own shoe straight

Allo mickeymbbc

That's a tricksy question, without knowing at least what country you're in, let alone what town/city

Do you have a local engineering company/firm within easy access to you? All you'd need to do is to mark-out where you want the window cutting (ideally on the inside of the panel and the more accurate you can get it, the better), it should only cos a few $$/££/groats/shekels/whatever

Aaahhhh, sorry I can't help much more as I'm in London UK. We do have members from Canada here, though - Hopefully one of them can help with more local info

you can use a rotary tool, place a masking tape over it so the paint wont get damaged and for marking purposes also.
