    I just got a YY cube case and i noticed that the steel in the side panels is a hell of alot tougher than most steel cases and I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with cutting a window or anything like that in it

    i intend to do a windows in both sides and not just a rectangle one (would involve alot more cutting than a rectangle) so i was wondering if i should buy a dremel or somethgin a bit more hardcore like an angle grinder to go about it (as i dont own either)
    and i also want to not finish the edges with rubber as well if poss (kinda like some of teh pre modded lian li windows that are riveted in)

    i was going to buy a dremel but seeing how thick the steel was im now havin 2nd thoughts :wallbash: so i though i might go for somethgin else

    another done by Borgbob who lurks in here from time to time. I thought he had a work log in our forum too but couldn't find it. So here it is over at pheaton.com

    A dremel and/or a jigsaw should be able to handle the panels on that baby.

    Reading Koolvin's article (the first link) he went through 18 reinforced cutting disks on his dremel before resorting to the jigsaw.
