    Yes i used a dremel for mods on the actual case, I say "mods" but I mean very minor stuff just to get rid of the hard drive bay at the top. Now looking back it would have been easier to use a drill (the funny screw thing that you have to drill to get out) insted of wasting yet annother dremel bit! To make the holes on top pannel of the case to hang the radiator I found it much better/easier to use an electric screwdriver (hand held 7.2v BOSH i think it was...) with a drill bit than with the dremel and Ive got to say they came out better than I thought they would! I wrote a sort of mini guide on the last page of how I mounted the radiator have a look if that interests you!

    Hi, I like what you have done and I am about to embark on a similar project and since you are going to cut, what are tools do you need for putting all the components together and the cutting.
    Great Job

    sorry to derail the thread, but i had a question regarding tools also. i was also gonna go out and buy a dremel and was wondering will just any dremel do? i dont need a separate drill right, can i just get a drill bit for the dremel? and what bit or whatever would i need for cutting a case?
    I got the Dremel 300-1/55 and its great because it came with quite a few usefull bits and a really cool flexi arm thingy. I would recomend that one although it was a bit steep when i bought it I no nothing of current prices
