thx for all the help here guys. i got the blowhole done today, and after a full day of work everythings reassembled. Two fresh cut fan holes, and the blowhole looks AMAZING compared to what i was hoping for. the reinforced cutting wheels are really a life saver. i had been practicing with the small ones, but the reinforced i used ONE for a whole 120mm blowhole without much wear at all. After two quick passes around the outside of the circle with the wheel, the third one cut through it like butter. The case is starting to shape up really nicely. Ill be posting pics soon in custom case work...
o yea anyone looking to do a blowhole, i had an extra cable layin around...a black audio cable from radio shack. just ur basic 1/8th to 1/8th (cd player/mp3 player type jack on both ends). I cut out a small section of it, enough to go around the hole, and cut out all the wires inside via one straight cut down the length of the cable. once this was done i put it around the hole in my case, and it totally hides the rough edges of the cut (and a few of my mistakes). Makes the hole look alot cleaner. thx to everyone who helped me pick the dremel, and the guy who suggested using some type of cable cut open to hide the edges of the hole.
