poor thing has no idea what's coming


used a sharpie to draw out where i wanted to cut


oh man, did that take a long time. and it was loud as hell too (you know how they put car subwoofers in boxes so the sound is louder? well, this box did pretty much the same thing with the vibrations of the cutter on it). well there it is, all the cutting done, only the corners are attached now


used a hammer on a screwdriver to punch out the piece


the scrap, finally detached from the case


it's smiling! ;-)


i ground down the edges to smooth them so i wouldn't cut my finger off if it slipped by the hole


yay it matches up to the hole in the faceplate!


this is the cheapest fan filter "custom fit" to the case i could have possibly hoped for..
  • small piece of a large $1.20 sheet of filter-foam: < $0.10
  • metal handle of the food carton from "Noodle Express" i had lying around: $0.00

all done! now the 2 fans that go down there can actually get some air in


look how dusty the filter gets if you forget to clean it once in a while! well i guess this means it's doing its job
