Yawwnnnn!!! Oopss.....sorry!! WOW! You guys really followed the progress huh? :O) Anyway, here's what happened today. As usual, the screw holes were drilled first and the alignment was checked with the grills and fans. Everything's cool there. Using the Dremel, I started to cut the top hole first. Had to be careful here as the curves were a little bit tighter than the 120mm holes in the front and top. Took tiny bites with the Dremel to ensure that it stays on course.

Screw hole drilled and check the alignment with the grills and fans.		You can see the metal shavings all over the side panel.

It took about 20 minutes to complete each hole, slightly longer than the time needed for the 120mm holes. But the result was good. Using a grinding wheel attachment, the metal burrs on the edge of the hole were cleared and smoothen out. Now it looks and feel like it was produced in the factory!!! No cuts on the fingers here...... :O)

The top hole completed.		If you look closely, you could see the burrs on the edge of the holes.

Both holes are completed.		Another shot after de-burring and smoothing out the sharp edges.

I checked the grill and fan alignment for one last time to ensure a good fit and clearance for the fans. At the end of this process, the side panel was really filthy. Out came a bottle of Grease Remover and everythings clean again!!! This thing works like magic!

Checking the alignment one last time.		The bottle of Grease Remover. Powerful stuff!!

I quickly proceed to install the fans and grills. I even slap on a couple of dust filters onto the fans. That will keep all that dust from accumulating in the case. And not to forget any creepy crawlies that would like to make the case it's home!!!

Yesterday, I mentioned that I was gonna do a simple mod to the "grooves" on the side panel.....well, here it is!!!

Groovy Grooves!!! >>
