Thoughts
Dremel MultiPro Super Kit:
Overall, the whole process went rather smoothly.
Using the MultiPro Dremel rotary tool to cut out the window did
take a couple hours to complete as well as several 1-1/4" Fiberglass
and 15/16" cut-off wheels. I would recommend purchasing a cut-off
wheel pack with this kit if you use the dremel rotary tool. If you
want to save time, what you might want to do is use a diamond saw
to cutout the majority of the case and then use the dremel rotary
tool to clean up the case. Using just the dremel rotary tool will
take a lot longer but it will provide a more precise cut.
Cutting a window in a case is just one of the many uses for the
MultiPro Kit. Its inclusion and support of additional bits and accessories
would allow for it to be used on various other case modifications:
cutting air holes, blow holes, engraving, sanding a case for painting,
cutting acrylic, as well as various other projects. The variable
speed makes the multipro dremel rotary tool great for being used
with various materials and the flex-shaft provides for greater control
and precision when working on cases and makes it a whole lot easier.
I will most definitely be using this kit in subsequent mods that
I do on my case.
PCMods Server Window Kit:
Overall the window kit worked great. The only problem I ran into
was with the locking strip. It was suppose to lock in the groove
of the window molding once placed there but I just wasn't able to
make it do it for some reason. That is why I ended up gluing it.
Overall gluing the strip proved to be a good idea since I ended
up having to trim the molding in order to make it fit in the Addtronics
6896A case.
PCMods provides a range of window kits in various sizes. They feature
rectangle, round, and oval kits in addition to the server kit. Each
kit allows you to choose between red, blue, or smoked acrylic for
your case. Be sure and check out their selection at pcmods.com.
If you have an Addtronics 6896A case and do not want to have to
trim the molding and make additional modifications to properly fit
the window in the case like I did, I would recommend going for a
smaller window from PCMods.
Conclusion
The Dremel MultiPro Super Kit is a great addition to any case-modders
line of tools. It features a wide range of uses and with the addition
of the flex-shaft makes working precision work, or working in tight
areas breeze. Whether you are into modding your case or just doing
