I also recommend Forstner bits. They aren't so good in a hand drill, but I've had reasonable results. Much, much easier in a pillar drill - which you obviously already have.
They do get quite hot if you run them too quickly - fair enough, given how much material they have to remove. That chipboard would be tough on them, needless to say.
1U modem shelves are good for this sort of task, but I used my last two in my "Infrastructure Cabinet" (how pretentious is that!!!). Thinking I could do with some more one day - or even that it would be nice if the ones I had were black to match the rest of the gear in the cupboard - I looked up the prices. Hmm. Think I'll live with white (or buy a black spray can!).
Keep up the good work!
Cheers,
Mark
