I want to get into Modding.

Where do I get Scotch Brand Green 233+ for cutting cases and protecting the surface and Scotch 4010 Tape of the gods for window mods? It's what Bill Owen recommends but I can't seem to find it in the UK.

you can get no more nails double sided tape which is very similar and just as strong if not stronger from personal experience and that is in b and q and the likes

Thanks, what about tape to cover the area which i'm about to cut?

ION · 3 Aug 2010 at 21:36

What i use is just masking tape and double sided tape sadly though Scotch brand tapes are easy to get hold of in the uk. Yea dan is talking about the stuff i mean good stuff really.

daniel_bourton · 3 Aug 2010 at 21:38

just make sure that you get low tack masking tape cus if it is over painted materials high tack can ruin the paint

Thanks for the quick reply.

What about files what kind do I need? as I'm planning to cut my case up for better cable management.

Be sure to have a design in mind first and see what tools will be required to do so

happy modding ^^

To be honest the first thing you need to start modding is:

1. Polish
2. Duster
3. Compressed Air

Why what for?

What type of files do I need for using after a dremel cut

nlr · 4 Aug 2010 at 12:58

they should do the job just fine but i would advice using some blowhole around the edge after filing it, so it doesn't have as much of a chance to damage any of the cables and it should look slightly nicer too

Some of my tools have arrived but I am still waiting on Bosch PSR 18 Cordless Drill + Holesaw, Bosch PST 700 PE Jigsaw, Heatgun, File set, Pop Rivet Gun, Sunbeam Molex Extractor and some glasses with gloves.

I don't understand how I would use the u channel around holes that I cut?

Its not sticky or that flexible I reckon I will struggle to do a circle with it.

By not sanding your holes, there should be a burr and therefore, when the u-channel is pushed in, it should stick because of the burr being jagged and all.

At what speed should I be using the dremel on a antec 900 as the wheel runs out too quick on the max speed (35k) and should I be seeing a lot of sparks?

its my first time using tools like these so I don't know much.

ION · 8 Aug 2010 at 16:27

Just practice on a bit of metal first so u can get an idea.

nlr · 8 Aug 2010 at 17:19

I have but I have consumed 2 discs on a small cut so I assume i'm doing something wrong or I shouldn't use the max speed (35k)

ION · 8 Aug 2010 at 22:05

Your probably applying too much pressure let the drill do the work.

wakayoda · 9 Aug 2010 at 00:54

Hope you know how to build a pc...

ION · 9 Aug 2010 at 12:51

Also the slightest bend in ur shape when ur cutting will snap that disc. Also remenber to get urself some reenforced cutting disc you should have been given them they are best for cutting (however they are only really needed for the steel parts of a case (sadly all of urs is steel,well i think it is, dont have time to check myself))
