New to case modding

[RagnaroK]

Hi,
I want to cut some holes in my case for some fans, because I believe the pre-cut holes in the case are not letting enough air in. I just want to know what tools should I use to cut such holes? Maybe big and maybe small holes. Also, what tools can do delicate metal cutting?

Thanks for any feedback.

I know alot of people use a dremel tool. I haven't started my case mod yet so I really can't say.

Most people use dremel for modding. But if you want to cut a hole in flat metal I suggest you use a hole saw. Like the ones at the bottom of this page: http://toolguy.com/recipblade.htm

Ahh.. dremel... I remember now! Thx [CpK]Bastid and thx to everyone for their input, but I didn't expect these tools to cost so much. LOL
I'm on a student budget you see, and really can't afford to buy these tools for one or two mod jobs... I might consider buying them later. But for now, can anyone suggest cheap ways of modding that can still look like it was done professionally?

There are really cheap dremel-lookalikes that you can use. They probably won't hold for more than one to two case mods (more than a hole though!) but then again they are very cheap. Sorry, I don't know where to get them outside Sweden.

Cheers Zedric. Thanks for the advice, think I found a few tools that could do the job for now. Thanks everyone.

Check your local Wal*Mart - you can pick up dremels for $30 - $40, before the bits. Not cheap, but not as expensive...
