Question about modding my generic case? Can it be done? Where can I take it?

[Junior77]

I live in north jersey. Would I be able to take it to the local pc shop and ask them to put three 120mm fans (2 intake and 1 out)?

i dunno anywhere that mods cases for you, why not do it yourself?

No, probably not. It's easy enough to do it yourself man. Just grab a dremmel or a jig saw and go to it!

I got a Dremel for Fathers Day,and could not believe how easy it worked on the fan holes.

 

[Junior77]

I really don't have a clue as to where to start.

There's probably people here that could do it for you, but the shipping costs would probably make it uneconomical. Anyone here from North Jersey that can help out here?

Just to clarify, is this New Jersey, or another Jersey that I'm not aware of?

It depends on your abilities with tools. A drill or dremel tool specifically. It was pretty easy for me to mod my case. Where are you going to put the fans at and do the sides only come off your case or is it a one piece kinda thing?

 

[Junior77]

Yes it is new jersey. Also, my intentions were to replace the front fan with a 120mm fan. Then I wanted another intake on the left side. Since I'd have two 120mm intakes, I'll put 2 120mm blow holes on top. And yes, the sides and top come off. I would really like to do it myself, but right now, I just don't have the time to make any mistakes.

If no one is able to help, or if you don't want to pay for shipping and labor costs, the only real way is to do it yourself. I do have some patterns that I use for my 120mm fans; they are still being perfected, but are pretty close - usually one of the drilled holes is a little off, but the main hole itself is fine. If you aren't good with a dremel, find something similar to practice on. Or try cutting an 80mm hole first, inside of where the 120mm hole would be.
