Plasma cutting

[Digitalaether]

Hey guys, 

I have a Phantech Shift X and having a hard time keeping thw temps down because of the restrictive air flow of the front and back panels. I want to get the panels cut for ventilation and I live in Victoria BC, anyone know a place that can do that? I would consider shipping the panels if I need too. 

 

It's fully water cooled but my water temps reach 55°C with my room ambient temp is around d 20°C.

i would probably look at a powerfull waterjet or laser cutter, plasma cutting leaves a nasty finish.

As suggested water jet or laser cutting will yield a cleaner result. I believe there are aftermarket options that you can buy cut by a third party.
