Default No Dremel

I have the Antec 900 but i don't own a Dremel. Has anyone cut holes with just a drill or saw (or something else)?

Go to lowes and pick up the holesaw in the size you need. Make sure you have some lube to spray it so you dont melt the paint on your case.

You may want to to pick up a few bits as they dull out pretty quick on pc cases .

I've used holesaws (go ahead and drop the cash for a quality one, trust me ) and jigsaws, aka sabersaws. If you have a jigsaw you can get a bi-metal blade for it and make some window cuts, and management cuts depending on size/shape.

Used an old hole saw drill attachment to cut holes in my 900. Took alot of effort though. I still think i need a dremel to cut the hole up top for the 8pin cpu power cable.

You earned your rep for this one .. but lost it for liking such an immature band as ICP.

You look over 12 ... so you shouldn't listen to that hateful evil crap. I dont want to hear about killing someones cat and sticking it their fing mailbox lol


No lol .. you get ur rep.. but I still will make fun of you at given opportunity for liking such a crappy ass group of freaks.
