Question for window cutting...

[Sliceman]

Im planning on buying a LL V1200 Plus 2, but it dont have a window. So if i buy it i want to mod a window in it. Here is a pic for my plans

outside blk line is the main cut. the smaller square would be a cut in the acrylic for the 120mm fan. (it would be circlular not square though)

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what your question is. Can you clarify?

If i buy the 1200plus 2 case, i want to cut out a spot for a window(thus the black lines) just wondering how easy it would be and what tools i would use

One of these:

is probably your best bet.

Or, you could use a Dremel tool with a reinforced cut-off disc.

Or a Jig saw with good metal cutting blades.

The nibbler would work but i am sure you would end up with blisters since that cuts 1-2mm X 5-6mm piece at a time. If the case was think metal like some Antec cases .. I am sure you would bust the tip a couple of times before you finished.

Ok, thanks for the info and tools guys!

The case is aluminum too, so it should be easy.

Also, when it comes to cutting acrylic, what should I use?

The edit button wasnt working... what are those little metal screw things you see on some windows? too hold them on? Their usually on the outside of the metal?

well to hold anything tightly together you need pressure on both sides, hence thoes fasteners.

Im going to try hot glue for mine, if it works as planed it will give a more stealthy effect than fasteners or channel lock

post back if it works for ya
