    I recently messed up the parts for a mate's PC and bought a cooler which wouldn't fit inside the mini-tower case.

    Anyway, my wonderful ingenuity and some messy work with a Dremel resulted in this (some rubber trim will improve the hole):

    Which is really a very obvious way to fix the problem. I just thought I'd share it (plus my trademark artwork) with the forum.

    If you're wondering why the hole is so big it's because the panel has to slide on. And because I'm quite incompetent with a ruler.

    If you're wondering about the excess hair or lopsided breasts, that's because my artistic abilities are limited.

    Anyway, (as my mother always told me) sharing is caring, so enjoy :D

    I wasn't going to comment 'cause it could have been a girlfriend, and I've made the mistake of commenting on derp boobs before...:worried:
    Square that hole up. Rubber channel won't fix wobbly.

    Haha, don't worry - it's no one I know.

    When you say square up, what do you have in mind? Metal files?
