I bought a Galant printer cabinet for my UPS, NAS and possibly other components and I have a feeling its going to get too hot in there, so I need to cut some holes for cabinet coolers. I don't need the lines to be perfect, I just want to make sure it doesn't create massive cracks.

The cabinet is put together, so I was thinking of just using a jigsaw, but I'm wondering if something else will do a better job?

I did this to get some cables. I used a large reamer bit to cut a circular hole, there some some chipping right around the hole, but I put a grommet through it, and it covers up the chips so it isn't noticeable.
