Another good thing to have if you're going to be cutting sheet metal:
Throatless beverly shears

Just cut a rough outline with the shears and then grind it down to shape.

When working with sheet metal a Nice Bench vise and a set or two of Sheet metal pliers Vise grip brand example are great (I'm currently lacking the bench vise at my new home). Oh and a pop rivet gun (how else are you going to hold that stuff together?)

I'm new to the whole modding scene, I've build a fair few PC's but always just left them as they came. I'm getting a computer in a few weeks and I'm considering making it a bit flashy but I'm not sure where to start. I've heard a lot of people talk about dremmel's (i google image searched it and it appeared to be a small hand held tool with a "circular" saw on one end but I wasn't sure if Dremmel was a brand rather than a particular tool) basically I'm thinking of trying to cut a pattern into the front of the case and then put Neon's or LED's behind it. I have absolutely no clue on how to go about this so any help here would be great, also my budgets pretty low so as far as tools go I don't want to get anything more than I'd need to. So yeah, what tool/tools do I absolutely need, and is there anything else I need to know?

I skimmed through the repies real quick But I didnt see anything on etching, (or whatever you may call it) the acrylic Windows? It'd be kinda cool to have computer code etched into the plastic ^_^
I think so anyway
