Dremel 0wnage

[Howard]

At long last I've got my grubby paws on one of these useful little buggers



Argos were out of stock on the £35 one with only 5 accessories, so I got the £70 one with 40. Lol.

Let the serious PC modding commence!

First thing I'm gonna do later on is to cut out these fan grilles in the case to improve the airflow greatly. Should be interesting to see how it goes!! Any tips?

You have got some goggles I take it? My advice is go slowly, if you push too hard you can break the cutting disc- at least you can on my weedy Dremel clone, the genuine article may be a bit stronger. Don't worry too much about the flying sparks, the bits of metal are so tiny they can't really hurt you.

Yeah I found some goggles in my garage earlier much to my delight.

Cool, I lashed up makeshift pair with a clear lens from some old interchangeable skiing glasses that I lost the frames for ten years ago. Not very comfortable but it worked alright.

I would have to have made some sort of makeshift goggles if I couldn't find these. Lol.

i got my dremel for my birthday last year to mod my case, since then it's been sat in my gran's spare room! i've got nowt to use it for atm!

Luckily i get free plastic goggles from uni for my chemistry courses, so i've accumulated at least 4 pairs

Well I've just spent the last 2 hours removing everything from my case, Dremelling out the fan grilles, and putting everything back in (whilst adding an extra fan).

God DAMN it's harder than I thought!! There's an IMMENSE amount of concentration involved for it not to slip even slightly!! And it takes ages. I was sweating all over like a pig and the goggles kept steaming up but it all paid off. There's a tremendous amount of airflow out of the rear of this case now. Fantastic. Temps are a bit lower too!

I am now a mod God Hehe
