Nano S Front Bezel mod

[Watashi]

I'm looking to make my own version of something similar like the one I'll link below.

Although the front bezel has some pretty decent airflow, I dont believe that it works all that great whenever you have exhaust fans in the front

I'm aware that I could just spin the fans around and adjust my entire build, however I have been wanting to do some case modding.

That's very doable I'd recommend to tape off the whole panel and mark your cut lines before starting off. Something like a Dremel would make quick work of it but most importantly be sure to cut away from the line and afterwards to use a file to bring it to the mark to straighten and clean up the edges.

This DIY video follows the same steps in that link, cause both were created by same guy (wink, wink)

Would it be okay to dremel and jigsaw through it even though it's a hard plastic material and not a metal?

Yes both will work for the jig saw be sure it's well supported.

I'm going to try to have a courageous friend hold it lol.

Place the Bezel Over an Open Box, that will both support it and collect the waste...
