What dremel cutting blade would you recommend for cutting aluminum(sp?). I have a old Lian-Li 60 case that is gonna get a face lift. And I was just wondering what the best bit would be that won't break and kill me :(
 
I always liked the fiberglass abrasive cutting disks, though they can produce a pretty messy cut if you arent careful, so you'd want to cut a bit inside the lines, and file/grind the rest out.

I've never tried the metal, diamond tipped blades, but I imagine they'd probably work fine, though heat would likely be a problem.

If you are doing something like a window, then a jigsaw is probably going to give you the best results, if for no better reason than it is a lot faster...Draw the cut, jigsaw it out (within the lines) and then use an angle grider or a dremel grinder bit to smooth it out. You can get a decent, cheap angle grinder for like $10 - $20 at a place like harbor freight
 
To start I'm gonna cut out a large section of the side that looks like a double headed eagle. I.E. if you've ever played warhammer 40k you'll know what I'm aiming for.
 
Yup, FIberglass Reinforced Cut-off disks are the way to go. I did my entire window mod without breaking a single one.
