(Theres no case forum so I hope this is close enough)
So I have a Bitfenix Shinobi Mid Tower case and I love it, smaller than I would like sometimes but it's home, right?
However I would like it to bring in a bit more air considering I am using 2 intake fans on it's front mounts to try and deliver something my GPU can suck in that isn't its own exhaust swirling off of the side panel.
Does anyone have suggestions for the best way to open up the front without making it look like I just cut a big hole in the plastic? Tools for the job, finishing the edges or something to lay behind the hole like a mesh they would use? Figure maybe someone in this community has poked around with modding cases, always think a custom touch makes the PC more personal than a new case.
Would also consider opening a slot along the side of the case right where the GPU exhausts its air to help it flow out of the case, would this be a bad idea?
(My exhaust fan is the rear spot currently serving my Corsair water loop since it doesnt fit anywhere else in the MidTower if that makes it more clear for why i want the air out the side.)
