Well, I know that people think the Alienware-ish cases suck, but I was just wondering what the easiest way to do those little cooling vents at the front with the LED Fans and crap. I like that a lot, and I'm gettin a new case, and i'm not sure if i wanna mess that up, but i'll see.

I'm gettin that NXT-Guardian or something. I think its neat, but I wanna do that mod.

Post with any suggestions, thanx.

i m not exactly sure about what kinda vents your talking about.. maybe a pic will show us?

if your just talking about any kinda vents, then just draw a grid with a pencil and drill holes on the dots and keep it aligned OR cut a big square and put a mesh over it
if your talking about vents for alienware styles, then i hav no idea... you may have to change the shape of the case to make those vents look natural

That's what I mean, and i dont know if takin a dremel or anything is worth it on my new case. Haven't done something like this before, so i'm kinda nervous to put any sharp objects or anything like that near my case.
