New User... On My First Mod.

Hello there, i'm a n00b here and besides the fact that i've been impressed by everyones work... i would like to ask for some tips on modding a case.

I'm looking for a tool that can help me carv the side pannel of a case, for example, i draw the outline and then i simply cut the case as marked, so it's pretty much a cutter of some sort, but with metal (or whatever the hell a standard ATX case is made of)... but more powerfull.

It doesn't have to be like this, i mean any tool that anyone can specify is welcomed as long as i can find it in a store or something.

My first project is based on a theme to help the image of a forum i'm in (from Romania) si i guess that i'll get on a work-log as soon as i have all the material i need to properly do it.

So if anyone can help me.. i would appreciate it, thank's again.

dremmel

I wold say get a Dremal and a 20 pack of reinforced cutting disks, they will last longer and its proboly the best deal. Also get a metal file of some sort, a fine one, you don't want it to rip up the case, just smooth it out.

dremel

but you should pick up maxinum pc's guide to Pc modding.
it will help alot

I didn't even see your post? wtf?

Hmm, this is good, people seem to know what can be used.. but there is a slight problem.. (or two)

First.. i don't believe the Maximum PC's Guide To Case Modding is available in Romania for selling.. and second, my english, I believe, lacks the understanding of the word "Dremmel".. i mean i can understand it's a power tool of some sort... but i'd really appreciate a link to a photo or something, to help me out... And if i can find it in a hardware store or something.

Have you tried googling the word? I think if you do you will find what you need. You can even do that for countless other things. If you come across a word you don't understand. Please try Google.com first.

Try HERE (USA)
OrHERE (Europe)

This is what your looking for!! They have sevral models this is just the big Daddy right now!

Hope that helps,

Oh.. yea, sorry, got it... anyways.. this is good info.. thanks.. looks like a really usefull tool.. hope i can find it somewhere around Bucharest.. or sumn.. in a tool mart or something.. thanks again you all...

Another possibility is a jigsaw or sabresaw, it is the same tool but is known by both names. This is an example of the tool I'm talking about ... http://bosch.cpotools.com/reconditio...587avs-46.html . I would think that this tool would be easier to find. It is not as versatile as a rotary tool (Dremel) but it cuts flat objects well.
