Default Dell airflow mod

I have an old Dell, yes DELL, that I have been running as a server. It used to always overheat so to fix the problem I had the case open on the side. I decided that it looked lame so I modded the side panel for a fan. I will post pics when I recharge my camera batteries.

It's my first mod too and since my mandrel for my new holesaw doesn't fix my drill I did it freehand with my dremel.

Not yet, I have ordered a Silverstone fn121 to go in there but I guess I can take a pic with my antec fan. Pics in a few minutes. I haven't drilled the fan holes yet though.
EDIT: Here are the fan pics, and yes it does clear the case with a fan on.

Nice, do you plan on drilling holes for the fan or are you going to JBweld some machine screws to the inside of the case to give it the super clean look?

I was planning on drilling holes for the fan screws, I'll be putting a grill on when they arrive. How would I JBweld some screws? I have never heard of anyone doing that before.
