does any one own one? can it cut through antec 900 steel?

Yes, and yes

Makes aluminium look like butter, need a little more patience with steel, but it makes a fairly easy job of cutting it.

If it's a larger cut, a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade would be even easier.

aluminium is just light and VERY expensive at the moment!

Plus its good for heat dissipation. Aluminium is nice and soft.

Its actually softer, its used because its much lighter, and I believe has better thermal properties.

You can pick up a cheapie Dremel in the laminated book of dreams for cheaper then a proper dremel. Works fine for me though to get the best out of it for cutting you should buy the proper dremel cuttings discs and disc holder.

I keep ruining the chuck bit inside on cheapy dremel rip-offs.

Are proper dremels more resistant to idots that don't let them cool down properly?

I haven't managed to ruin mine yet but it does put out a heck of a lot of heat so I think it's got a decent enough cooling system.
