Any good cooling mods for the Antec 1030???

Hello,
New to the board and just wondered if anyone has had any success with cooling mods done to an Antec 1030 case. Was thinking about possibly a blowhole and a side fan. I'm no good with a dremel so if anyone has a company to recommend that would be great also.

Pics would be cool as well!

Thanks!

For cutting fan holes forget about the Dremel. Pick up a hole saw from your local hardware store. It attaches to a drill just like a drill bit and cuts perfect holes easily.

I'm a total rookie when it comes to cutting metal (never even took shop class in high school). Would this be doable for a first-timer?

Thanks for the reply

As long as you're somewhat handy with tools then you will be fine. I had never cut metal either until I modded my case and didn't have any problems. Unless, you have a good clamp and workbench, I highly suggest that you have someone help you with this project.....one person drills while the other holds the case panel.

I'm a first timer and I put a windows kit and blowholes in my 1030... but get a hole saw and jig saw, stay away from those dremels.
