What is the best tool for cutting an extra fan hole in the top of my computer? It needs to be nice and circular, not sloppy looking. Thanks!

You can use one of them big circular drill bits, the ones for cutting circles, or if you can't get one of them you can always use a dremel but this could be tricky. I did mine with a dremel and lets just say the holes could of been better.

for doing this I wouldnt recomend using a dremel especially if you havent much experience using one. You can get drill bits which drill a circle and cut out the peice you want.

The hole saw is the way to go. It just takes a few seconds and you are done. I couldn't imagine doing it with a dremel.

dremels alot of work, mine started as a decagon ish creature then i put the sanding bit on and made it a circle, looks decent tho

i used a jigsaw with a precious metals blade

worked absolutely perfect, i put down a layer of masking tape then cut it.. no shards or anything, a nice smooth surface
