a simple yet effective way to fit a fan into a comp
thats genius stuff
but the edges look a little raw so i would put molding around them
Sorry, bud it's very terrible.
Your first post is trahing someone else, shame, shame. This forum is about expression. If you feel an improvement can be made say so but don't post only to trash someone's work. -rep
One of the things I have found is that you need to cut the hole a little smaller.... if you use a CD as a guide, then you need to make sure you cut inside the lines by a little. it helps the look and helps the mounting points a ton.
The CD is the same size as the fan housing, but there is a gap between the housing and the edge of the fan blade (1/16"?). If you cut inside the lines by a full 1/16" all the way around it makes your life a little easier.
When I did mine, I actually used the fan guard as the guide. I made my mark using the INSIDE of the outermost ring of the fan guard. This way the outermost ring acts like molding to hide any cutting mistakes.

Drac998 - I agree with everyone else, the cuts are a little rough, maybe try cleaning up with some sandpaper/files. I think some mesh in front of that fan would look wicked. I hope to get around to cutting my window this weekend, then you guys can laugh at my first time cutting metal.
+ rep for being creative.
Almost a freebie mod, +rep.
Like pointed out a lot already, it's a bit ruff, but a good lickle worklog all the same.
Would have helped me out a bit if you'd have posted earlier though... I've just spooned up a similar mod by being a n00b. Ah well.
Stuff works out. Anyone wanting to see more about this, please visit the worklog section of the forum.
