Router is usually more accurate and the hole isn't all wobbly looking, but I always use a jigsaw.

It can be done with a jigsaw but the router is quick and looks way better.

another vote for router... just make sure you have a proper router guide

I vote router as well. Quicker, easier, and much cleaner looking for if you ever want to sell the enclosure on craigslist or something...

If you want to have fun and see how good you are with your hands, you can try a Dremel. Seriously though a router with the right jig would be the best option.

Router + circle jig. Although I had to use a jigsaw so many times I'm used to it, so I can make straight cuts with either one.

router w/ jasper jig. I used a jug saw for years and finally setp up to a router & jig and was "Why the fawk didn't i get this before!" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/pissed.gif.9f665f96bc89e98e708dabd4580bb591.gif

this question is fvcking stupid, if you don't have a router a jig saw will work fine.
