Before I put this case on sale, I want to know where the best place is for a blowhole?

I would say on the side window, it will suck all the air off of the gpu and cpu that way.

Hardwaregods did not want to cut the blowhole. I wonder why.

Man, thats a perty case if ever I saw one.
Well, not sure you need another blow hole. It has 2 intakes at the bottom front, 1 exhaust in rear and blow hole at the top of case.
I wouldnt put a blow hole on the window, you would want to have an intake fan there if anything at all...blowing on the vid card/cpu. Intake fans on windows bring cold room air close to the fans on vid cards and cpu hsf.
I have seen people put blow holes on the back panel (one that holds the motherboard) around where the psu slides in. Basically he had it in the center of the panel and about 3 inches from the top. Heat rises and this is why they put a blow hole up there to begin with.
Another thing you could do is ask the person who buys it if they would like another blow hole and if so where they would like it.

I think you'll be better off not taking a Dremel to that thing.
I know I'd be scared ****less.:eek:
The best place would probably be the top, to make a blowhole. Depending on what you want to do though, a side-panel fan wouldn't be a bad choice either.

120mm...I never read the complete Thread title either Penti. :hehe:
As far as worrying about using hte dremel, I would lay the fan flat onto a piece of paper and trace it out. Stick the pencil inside the fan housing and just move in a cricle. Then tape that to whereever you want the blow hole and drill very small (or big if ya prefer) holes in the paper until you get the design you like. Its pretty effective...although it does hampen air flow a bit....but better than trying to dremel that thing yourself. I dremeled a 80mm blow hole in top of my case....wasnt perfectly round, but a face plate covered it nicely so cant tell.

I say top then, mount a 120mm delta and sell it to a cs-gamer that think sound = good and 100fps+ in CS.

Nice case!!!! Why do you want a 120? 80 not good enough, or do you want a quietier fan?

Cut out the stock fangrill on the back. I don't get why you're cutting a blowhole before you sell it though. I supposed one blowing onto the agp slot would be best though.
leave the case alone its so god damn nice as it is
