It doesn't really matter... use a sacrafice piece of wood under it. And use
a punch or a nail to tap where the bit will start... this will keep it from
running-off on ya. Bits... any kind that will drill aluminum. I suppose, in a
pinch, wood bits would work... but it may dull the bits... a bit.

I have a list of question about drilling holes in the dotcom front
panels.
-Do you generally drill from the front or back or does this not make
any difference?
-Do you typically use special drill bits?
-Is a drill press absolutely necessary? Will a normal hand drill work
just fine or does it spin too quickly?
Thanks for the tips!
