Buy a metal nibbling tool.. easiest tool to cut fan holes.. best part is it only costs about $10 US..

Yeah i saw one of then in my Jaycar (US's Radioshack equivalent) for $22 (stupid low aussie dollar) how neat are the holes that you get out of a nibbler? i heard htey can be pretty dodgy looking?

Depends on the hole size.. but a little sanding (as is necessary with any tool) and it looks perfect..

Even better since I've done it and it worked well for me is to cut a rough hole with a nibbler since cutoff wheels aren't as easy IMHO then follow up with the metal grinding and then sanding bit on a Dremel Rotary Tool and it can be done very precisely..
