Thanks for this thread, I will go buy Dremel 3000. Is Dremel 3000 absolute rotary tool? What if I want to drill into pc casing that made of plastic or metal?

I'm not expert in modding but to me Dremel 3000 is good enough for lightly drill & cut.

Ok thanks bro. Sound like Dremel 3000 is holy grail of pc modding. Thanks.

U can drill tru acrylic with Dremel. Metal parts use a drill la. Dremel doesn't have the torque for drilling metal.

Thanks. I thought I need to buy special drill for metal pc casing modding. I guess I need to buy a very small drill bit for my Bosch Rotary Hammer Drill.

Cutting thin metal is doable with Dremel, for example with the Moto-Saw
or Ultra-saw

How do you guys make sure the cutting and drilling is straight? Do you build your own workbench to slide the Electric Saw in straight line?

And need to buy a clamp to make sure straight drill down? hmm.gif

Cutting in straight lines got nothing to do with bench n all. It takes years of practice to cut straight lines by using jigsaw. Most ppl i see nowadays just send to factory for machine cut or laser cutting. No skill at all. That's not even modding. That's like sub contracting. LoL

But even with practice, human hand can shake. If have a guiding bench, I'm sure the line will be always straight.

by the way, isn't jigsaw probably use for cutting round corner while for straight line, a rotary saw will be more easier.
