Default Cutting holes in my case. Need some help
What i would like to do is cut a square hole in the back of my case so that i have better access to the motherboard screw holes that will one day hold the retention bracket for my CPU cooler.

Only problem is, is that i have no idea what tool i need to do the cutting


Now, i know i can't cut square holes but is there a tool out there that can use to help me achieve a square hole? Like an attachment to a dremmel?

Hello.

No, there's no attachment for a dremel that will allow you to cut a square hole. What you will need is a dremel and some reinforced cutting discs.

Like what everyone else has said. Especially CattleRustler, he knows his stuff when it comes to cuts and the like.


Just be sure to put down some low tact tape on the case so that it doesn't take off any of your paint if you put any down and to limit the scratching on the case.

depending on the material and/or size of the hole i would say, use a drill and a jiggsaw, I cut a 2'x1.5' hole in the side of my case for plexiglass in that manner
