Cutting Computer Cases

[BGates14]

I'm trying to cut a hole in the top of my case where the usb / audio ports were, what type of tool would i use for that? I tried using a box cutter and a plexiglass cutter, they're both pretty much razors but aren't working or getting anywhere. My case is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811133137 so it's aluminum.

A dremel would do the job

The rotary saw one or which? When I search for them theres like 20+ different types.

I would use a cutting wheel on a dremel rotary tool. Thats what I used to cut the hole in the top of my case for a fan. Or if you have a jigsaw, you could use that with a fine tooth metal cutting blade on it.

Its not for plastic its for aluminum. But ya definatley use a dremel with a metal cutting bit on it. I fyou go to like a hardware store that has dremel bits then it will say on the packaginbg what types of material to use that blade to cut, just find the one you need.
