Where would I look for a good machine shop?

I have the LianLi PC60, and it cools great, but with the configuration of where my CPUs sit, I think they are fighting with the rear exhaust fan for air. So I have an idea.

I want to put two aluminum cylinders (or maybe just PVC ), one over each fan, flush with the edges, with the fan sticking up into them. (retail Intel FCPGA fans), and then have two holes cut precisely in the side of the case with a flange on the inside, and gaskets, and then a 60mm mesh grill on the outside.

This way the side of the case will still easily slide on and off, and the CPUs will suck cool air directly from outside, and then blow off the HSs to become warm air on the inside that will immediately be grabbed by the exhaust fan.

So the question is, where/how do I find someone trustworthy/good enough to do this to my nice new aluminum case?

Yourself?

It's a good idea, really. Leo V (now Leo E, or was it Leo Y??? His girlfriend dared him to change his name ) did a little ducting work himself when he was on the quest for the totally silent case. He ended up with a case with a single slow 80mm case whose innards were totally stable. He had a fanless PEP66T, made a duct rerouting the airflow from the PEP66T to the power supply (using the 80mm fan I was talking about). He removed the outside of the power supply - the casing - to do that.

I would do it, but 1) it would need to be really precise, and 2) I don't EVEN trust myself with this spendy aluminum case. If I could buy a spare side panel somewhere, I might attempt it, but I don't know if that's possible.

It just seems that it'd work really well, it's making it fit that becomes the problem.
