If you want access to some instant how-tos and also a whole database of pics of other people's mods (gives you good ideas plus you can drool at the same time... ;)), check out VirtualHideout.

Also check 2cooltek. You see step-by-step examples of some case mods he has done. It's also a great source for cooling-related items.

i'm gonna also mod my case soon, and justy remember the golden rule:

MEASURE TWICE, CUT ONCE

just follow this and you will be OK.

as for tools, a Dremel is a good thing to use, because they can cut small things accurately and easily.

I'll second that about Dremel. Its the only tool I use, besides a drill, for modding cases. I can cut nice round holes, any size, without problems. IMHO the greatest tool ever for the case modder in everyone!
