I have a design and would like to just order it to be cut for me instead of having to do it myself. I need four of them and really don't want to waste time/ dremel blades trying to do it myself. Anyone know where I can submit a design and just order it?

What sort of design? A computer case?
A good place for computer related enclosures (or any sort of enclosure) is Protocase.com. They have a free cad tool to create your own design, which you then send to them and they will verify the model, and contact you for authorization and a quote. Once paid for and approved, you have the case in 3-5 days. I have used them a couple of times for prototyping a design. They are not cheap, but will work with you on cost.

I also use a local metal fab shop that will accept most cad files and they have a guy there that is good with Solid Works (which they use to feed designs to their machines).

It is called AMP and the phone number is 408-735-7127. Ask for Steve Pestana (the owner and a really nice guy) and tell him Terry sent you.

Here is a link to the protocase designer site: http://www.protocase.com/about/index.php#howtowork

You might be able to get mnpctech to make you up some machined grills
