hummmm it'd be easier if you tell us exactly what you want and then we tell you what to buy or how to do it...

aluminium cases are great, light and easy to work... a dremel will go through it easy... it goes through thick steel cases so aluminium will be easy :)

trouble with aluminium cases are they are pricy and that would make me worried about cutting one...

also make sure you practice using the dremel first, make sure you cut out the actual designs first too to see what they look like... and i know you've probably heard this a million times but "measure twice, cut once"

hi

well this is what i wanna do:

i want to cut a hole right on top of the 5.25 bay so i can put a exhaust there since thats where the meanwell psu gon b. gon use the fan as an exhaust

next wanna put a 120mm fan on the back to house a radiator

i also wanna put up a window for the case but also 2 more 120mm fans on side and one facin' the mobo to cool it.

i know imma need a dremel but i dont think i'd come wit everything i need. i guess i need cut-off wheels not sure wat it is but i guess is the wheel thingy to do the cutting. etc

Most of those mods will be a piece of cake or frustratingly difficult depending on what type of case you get.
