I've gotten them from Lowe's, Home Depot, and Ace Hardware. The one you want is the 108mm, or 4.25 inch. Works perfect for 120mm fans.

Hey Farel, you could strip the case, take everything out, even the PSU, and call the local Electrician shops, they can pop a sweet hole in that case in five minutes, just make sure it's ready for them to do it fast. Might cost you $20, might cost you nuthin' if you catch them in a good mood and it goes easy

That would sound great lcpiper, only thing is, I have some plastic front pieces that need to be holed too. But, thats a great idea for future projects.

BA thanks, I was checking a few of those you mentioned in their online store. I guess I will have to make a run over to one of them tonight and see what I can find.

if you take it to a shop with a hole punch have a 1/2" hole drilled in the center for the punch so it's ready like icpiper said

I'll prolly give it a try

Just look for an adjustable hole cutting tool for a drill.
They are about $20 or so, but you can make perfect holes any size and it will cut out of anything, plexi, lexan, alum, steel, wood, prolly more but thats all I've used it on.
