Need a dremmel?

[magicammo]

Alright I'm attempting my first mod and I need some advice. I'm going to be putting a low end PC into an Xbox 360 case and I'm going to need to cut the back portion of the Xbox 360 the plastic and metal to fit the io shield and maybe various other places to put a small fan. My question is what bits do I use? I've never used a dremmel to cut any type of material and suggestions?

For metal the best is the reinforced cut off or abrasive discs.

Do not buy the Dremel Max or anything like that. Just buy a regular angle grinder.

If you are talking about the wimpy ass dremels, any one of their newer models would be fine.

Yes that can do the job, ideally on a dremel you do want speed control for different materials as that looks to only be on or off.
