Blowholes

I had always wanted to add a fan to the bottom of the case but with the 120mm case fan having to go I decided to stick a 80mm blowhole at the top of the case as well

To make the bottom blowhole I cut out the hole with my trusty dremel. With the hole cut and filed back to shape. The bolt holes were drilled out as well.

In order to prevent dust being sucked up into the case I fitted a filter to the bottom fan.

With the top fan I repeat the same dremel process as before to create the blowhole in the steel chassis.

This time I added some blowhole trim as it is going to be on show. I then had to cut the perspex section as well to get air out of the case.

The perspex was again cut with a dremel then filed back to shape with a sander. With the white LED fans the top blowhole looks ace.
