Considering the air volume of the case was. . the entire basement, cooling was not a problem at all.

beyond that, like the others have said, it's damn hard unless you're experienced with metalworking, and have the right tools, you're better off getting a prefab. If all you wanna do is a case window, hell, it's hard to find a case these days that doesn't have one.
