Dremel
Mayhem!!: The curves, or circumference of the 92mm hole is quite tight so you might want to cut just a small portion at a time. I started out with a fresh cut-off wheel and let it cut just about half an inch of metal at a time. This will ensure that you stay on course and not stray away from the markings. Do not apply too much force. Just let the wheel slide across the work piece, taking tiny bites. Continue to do so until finally the wheel cuts through the work piece.
I strongly advise you to have somebody to take pictures for you!! I'm doing this with one hand holding the camera and the other on the Dremel!!! Hey, good help is hard to find!! Anyway, continue to work your way along the markings, taking small cuts at a time. Occasionally, you could stop to check the cut or just for a break, if you like! Before you take the final cut, make sure you hold the waste metal piece with one hand to ensure that the waste material does not fly off once the Dremel cuts through the hole. It hasn't happened to me yet, but I guess it doesn't hurt to just be on the safe side! You should get something like this once it's finished.
Next up is the fan mount at the rear of the case. This cut is gonna be fairly easy as there is not much material to remove. You just need to cut the metal pieces that are holding the grill to the case structure. You should be able to finish this cut in a minute or two. Once that is over, remove the cut-off wheel from the Dremel and attach the grinding wheel. You can use any of the wheels, but I'll be using the cone-shaped one. No particular reason for this. The wheel will be used to remove the metal burrs at the edges of the hole and to smoothen things out so that it does not cut your fingers! Then it's time to slap on da fans baby!!!
