Request: Make me some Circles!!!

[rox1co]

aight i'm gonna make holes at the back of my case but i want them to be perfect cuz i'm anal like that i'll be using them to make holes for 2 80mm fans side by side so i'll need the dimensions to be. i'll just print it out and drill over it ...

160mm width / 80mm height / Circles = 10mm big and please align them!!!

resaon i'm asking cuz i don't have AUTOCAD or whatever to make it exact? yes, poor me so help out if u got the right software and time paint just can't cut it out

much <3

example: plz no circles at the outer/middle areas cuz i need that area to screw my fans

ps. my tools are very limited, basically a powerdrill

That kind of arrangement would block so much air that it wouldn't be worth your while - 80mm fans are pretty weak as it is. Radio Shack has nibbling tools for around $12. and you should be able to find for less in a city the size of Houston (as low as $8.00 + shipping online). Then you can do a proper job of it.

my 80mm is a monster, nibbling tools? i'll look around

I'd suggest usiong 120 mm fans as they move 3 times the air an 80 mm fan will and you can turn them down so they're whisper quiet and they'll still be moving a good amount of air.

As far as how to make a prefect circle goes. Use a door hole saw of the correct size for the fnas you choose. Get it at your local hardware store.

i bought these 2x120mm Aspire fans that are rated to blow 77CFM but my stock AeroCool fans seem to blow more air, are Aspire fans good brand? seems like i got a crap fan

and yeah i went to lowes earlier and found holesaws that'll work perfect for 80/120mm fans but it'll cost me like 60 or so for both

Sometimes it's not a matter of good brand or bad brand. It could be that the 120 mm fan you purchased was designed for very low noise applications and as a result, doesn't spin as fast as you think it's spinning.

Aspire is not one of the better brands of fans; NMB/Panasonic (Panaflo), Akasa, Pabst, Delta, Arctic Cooling, Nexus, Scythe, and Yate Loon are some great fan brands.

That is one of the best fans you can get. It works great when you put it on a fan controller.

Papst fans are a bit better, but those are about as good as it gets [without spending ~30-40 on a fan.]

I personally use those. [The linked item.]
