i was using my dremel to cut the some metal that is from the side of a lian li case and the cutting wheels keep on breaking and shooting all over the place. i dont have acess to a bandsaw but what would be the easiest way to cut metal that thick?

Yeah, you're going to need the heavy duty wheels. Make sure they say they're for cutting metal 
When you get the right ones, you should be fine. Of course, don't rush it and don't force it. It's a mod, not a race... and the slow mods are the ones that look the best

I hope you're wearing safety goggles.
Just as the people before me said, I use a fiberglass reinforced cut-off wheel. It works ten times better than a standard cut-off wheel. Never force the cut, make lots of passes over a line. Once you are through the metal, don't twist the dremel. Take your time and never rush. I've never broken a wheel once before!

It sounds like you're pressing waaay to hard on the disk. You're not going to cut through the metal in one pass. Ease off of it a little and take a little bit out at a time.
