The Blowhole

Quick Installation Guide: Blowhole Guide

This guide is the same for all sizes of blowholes, for more information on Blowholes, check out the articles section at CaseEtc.

1. Remove materials from boxes, and clear an area to work with the appropriate tools.
2. Decide on where the fan is going to be placed. Do any measurements needed.
3. Secure the Blowhole Template to the case, tape works pretty well.
4. Use a metal punch or nail to mark the center of the screw holes as well as the center of the circle.
5. Assuming you have the components removed, and you are in an area in which metal shavings won't hurt things, go ahead and prepare the Holesaw and Arbor.
6. We recommend, and carry, saw lubricant for the Holesaw. The Holesaw can be used on a corded drill, cordless drill, or drill press.
7. Put on the safety glasses and start in on the main hole. Find the nick that the hole punch made, and place the arbor in that for a starting posistion. The cut shouldn't take longer than a couple minutes.
8. You should have a perfect looking circle, take off the burrs with a Dremel or other de-burring tool.
9. Use a ?inch drill bit to drill the fan screw holes.
10. Place the grommets in the screw holes, the grill over the grommets, then drive a screw through there into the fan. Use the remaining fan screw to fasten the other grill.
11. Place the positive and ground wires from the fan into male Molex pins. The pins plug into the included connector, and then plug that into a female Molex source from the power supply.
12. You now have a killer blowhole (or suckhole), hope you had fun making it. Questions and comments can be sent to cole_NOSPAM@directron.us (remove _NOSPAM manually). Thanks!
