I heard that dremels are a great tool for modding. Is there a specific kind that you have to get? Is this one sufficient for a side panel window mod? https://www.amazon.com/WEN-2305-Rotary-Tool-Shaft/dp/B003BYRFH8/ref=sr_1_3?s=power-hand-tools&ie=UTF8&qid=1469380958&sr=1-3&keywords=dremel

 

I am planning to make a side panel window on a Corsair 200R and paint it.

 

Thanks!

It should be okay. I used a jigsaw to cut the window out and a dremel to smooth out the rounded edges.

 

I would buy a 20 pack of cutting discs (not reinforced) since they're cheap and you'll be going through them alarmingly quick.

Thanks, I'm not exactly sure if I'm going to be modding the case, however If I do, I will take your advice.

 

Thanks! :)

The better question to ask when adding a window is: Do I want screws or double-sided tape for the window? I use tape since it creates a nice seal around the window for dust.
