Totally new and looking at a project

I've never done any sort of modding really, i catch on pretty quick and know a lot about (PC) hardware. But making the hardware look awesome inside a case... is something i'd like to try.

I'm adding red Talismoon Whisper fans tomorrow and would be interested in seeing how much a case mod would cost. Cost as in equipment and materials.

I am also new to this forum, but its probably pretty active and nice afaik.

Some things i'm looking to do to my case:

I like this generally all around, but i'd prefer curved corners, and obviously red lights.
I REALLY like the fan vacuum he made or had installed.
Seeing my disk in the xbox would also be a huge plus.

My xbox is white and i'd be painting, and cutting all myself.
Information like recommended tools would be incredibly helpful (especially for cutting plastic, and how i'd be laying and holding the Plexiglas inside)

Let me know if i'm getting in over my head.

Thanks!

dremel would probably be the best for cutting and a file for smoothing ruff
edges and glue like clear silicone or epoxy resin (the kind you mix and
sets in 5 minutes).

Alright, thanks.

Any special techniques for setting the plexi on the xbox?

Once i get the necessary tools and materials. But i have a few things on my 'buy list' before i start this.

I just want to be prepared. Looks fun.

Would this dremel and attachment be sufficient for cutting the case?
