good good.........finally this thread got pinned!!

i wanna ask a question... how to cut a big hole on the case?? using what kind of tools?

what type of hole r u referring?if a blowhole u could use a rotarytool or just attach a hole saw to a drill.if u r cutting ur panel to put arcrylic,u can still use rotary or use jigsaw
