Custom fan grills

mmaturen · 20-July-05, 02:54 PM

I need your opinon guys on what kind of material is the best to make a custom fan grill. I have a couple of side panels that I don use... can I usa that to cut the custom grill? take into account that Im just gonna use a dremel.

Cheers.

A case side would make a perfectly serviceable fan grill material. Dremel would work well, as long as you didn't need to make extremely intricate cuts. (a hacksaw does corners nicely)

Ive made them out of plexiglass and steel (side panels off old cases), both work fine.

I use a Dremel and then finish with jewlers files and sandpaper.

Side panels will definitely work. You can do some somewhat intricate cuts with your Dremel.
I've been considering doing some custom grilles for my next rig, and I'm planning on using some aluminum stock (since my next case will be aluminum).
