Modding Case

[Cbeck527]

I was planning on modding my new case (adding fan holes and LEDs) and I was wondering what tools I would need. I have an aluminum case, so I dont think it will be hard to cut through.
Any help is appreciated.

A jigsaw for the hole, or a whole cutter attachemnt for a drill. Some kinda blade, cant rember, the guys at a hardware store should know. You would also need a drill and drill bits.

aluminium isnt hard to cut through at all, especially that thin. you need an aluminium cutting saw blade for the jigsaw, a jigaw, a drill with a bit large enough for the blade to go in, and probably pencil to mark out with.

And of course for adding LEDs you'll need a soldering kit, wires and maybe a PCB to solder lots of LEDs or resistors to.

I second the dremel. It works great cutting through and finishing random projects.

I found this thing on Xoxide and I was wondering if it really works. It says that it cut through aluminum.

It also says that it eliminates the need for expensive power tools.

What do you guys think?
