Side Panel Mod

[roy92]

im planning on building a new comp, and im gonna get this case

coolermaster RC-330 elite

im going to put a window mod into the case, and im wondering whether a jig saw should do the trick, or do i need any other tools?

thanks

You could use a jigsaw with a metal cutting attachment, but it would be a very rough cut and would require a fair bit of filing to smooth things out. Your best chance at getting a successful, clean and accurate cut would be with a Dremel cutting tool. Very precise cutting with minimal mess.

I used a jigsaw for my window mod. It works fine if you use one of those window kits with the rubber gasket.

Dremel tools are the way to go if ur looking for a nice cut, u could also use a jigsaw tho, it depends on how much finishing work u want to do to make it look good.

is the dremel easier to cut than a jigsaw?

Jig is faster, Dremel is easier.
