    Hi guys.

    I've got some ideas for a case knocking around but i have no clue how big the circular hole but on a 120mm fan is and i really need to know. I got some templates of kong's site but cannot print them to size acuratlly because i have no clue with estimation. Has anyone got a good way of seeing how big the circle bit of a 120mm fan is?.

    Thanks in advance.

    sorry if the above doesnt make sense.

    non surprisingly, about 115mm. It might vary a little from fan to fan though.

    I've used Moddin's 80mm, and found it to work nicely.

    a 114mm holesaw is good for a bare edge, with trim, use a 120.
