I have a new pc that I've have been adding mods to increase it's performance. But I'm concerned about heat. Is it possible to install a case fan into my pc with cutting a hole into it? I know that the hot air must be let let out in order to cool. I must say that I'm alittle more than scare to measure and cut into my case.. I do however have a air hole on the side of the case.. Can I use that?

If you install an additional fan, make sure that you mount it so it is sucking in air rather than blowing it out. Your power supply fan is blowing outward already and by facing the supplimental fan so that it is pulling in air while to PS fan blows out will create a nice airflow to keep the components cooled.

I dont advise you to try and cut a circle out of old glass it just works out to about 5% success in new glas the pecentage is higher only if you know what you are doing first you mark an outside circle with a glass cutter then make two more each of decreasing diameter in the center you make a criss cross pattern with the glass cutter place the glass upside down to the cuts andtap all the cuts made so you can see the break of ALL the cuts place the center on a spike and carefuly break the center out of the criss cross next take the cutter on the head use the cut outs TO THICKNESS of the glass and NIBBLE the glass to the first ring DONT TRY TO REACH THE RING IN A STRAIGHT LINE start with a 3" nibble lenght wise reducing til you get to the ring breaak away the glass in segments of 1/3 at a time repeat on the second ring then extra careful on the last ring tools needed cicular glasscutter ordinary glasss cutter I used diamond cutter but I was cutting glass for a large builder smerchants

If you have an extra slot in the rear, they make what is called a case slot fan... it just plugs into an extra power plug and works very well because it draws the hot air out the back instead of just blowing it around and sucking in dust. Check ebay... they are pretty cheap, too.

Most PCs have a place on the back to add an extra case fan if needed. Are you sure your's doesn't.
