Case Modding Tool Help

Go to solution Solved by Enderman,

That is basically the same as a dremel except cheap made in china quality.

A dremel is the best tool for modding because you have a ton of attachment options for almost any case.

If you plan on doing more modding in the future I would suggest buying a real dremel that will last you a much longer time :)

If this is a one time thing, then it should do the job fine.

I want to do a custom window on my friends PC. His side panel is made of steel.

Would this tool work?

I guess a better question would be:

What tools do you guys use to modify steel PCs without blowing your budget?

 

Also, I noticed a guy in the reviews said he cut through a 1/2" steel pipe, so do you think I'll be able to get a clean cut?

I didn't know the name of the tool. Looks like I'm buying a dremel! :D
