Finally got some time, a spare panel, and desire to start laying out the window. As a side note the side panels are interchangeable….meaning by just turning them “upside down” they will fit either side (excluding the fan of course). Managed to pick up a spare right side panel as I didn’t want to ruin the “fancy” Z7 Plus left side.

Started laying out a “simple” window as I’ll need to at least have room for 1 x 120mm if not two fans. While doing some initial layout I’m really not sure I want to do two fans as even with the window they will cover one third if not a half of what I’m trying to show.

Here we have the initial layout and then some closer look at the corners.



And of course the weapon of choice with a 2” multi-material hole saw……



Now for the attack….



And here is where it sits as several things were brought to my attention. When using a cordless drill confirm both batters are fully charged. Make sure you’ve remember to select the correct speed. As far as the hole saw is concerned, buy a decent setup. The cheapie (borrowed) set’s set screw for the centering drill bit won’t tighten down. As the Allen wrench provided is too small and it needs to be tighten after every cut. Also it is not really cutting the metal cleanly, meaning it is really more wood that “then sheet metal”.

So now I’m charging the batteries for the drill (4 hours) so it won’t get done tonight!
