Do you know if it's possible to get one cheaper than $120?
I looked in the Modder's Manual and found an Online Canadian Store, and it's lowest was $120 (Although they only offered like... 3)

Is that cheap for a Jig Saw or can I get cheaper?

Oh, sweet. I think I might go with this. However, I live in a Basement suite and so my plan for Spray Painting was go down to the local field, set up some card board and spray paint outside.

Did the guy in the video just put the side panel on a box when he cut it?

Also: Is there anything interesting I could do with a window? I really like the thought of having the scout from TF2 on my case, but I don't think I should try and saw a scout shaped window in my PC. Maybe put a scout spray painted on one side, and put a window on the other side?

he used a wooden table, you get the acrylic slightly bigger than the cut then use 3m 4010 tape to hold the window

my window that i put in

Very nice logo on the window. Did you cut out a template and spray it on?

So, what would be a good way to Jig Saw something outside? Possibly without the use of a table?

Well, I got my tools. I splurged a little ($120 is quite a bit more than $20...)
but these tools should last me a long time.

Modder [In Training]:

Tools [Below]

Handy Dandy new Tools

. Includes:
B&D Variable Speed Jigsaw [Accepts U and T-Style Blades]
Bosch 17-24 TPI Blades [U-Style]
Workhorse Clear Safety Glasses
RUST-OLEUM Painter's Touch Matte Black Spray Paint [Confirmed to work on Plastic.]
Measuring Tape
Nicholson General Purpose Half-Round Hand File
Square /w Level & 30cm metal ruler
Scotch [3M] #4011 Exterior Mounting Tape
Norton Multisand Sponge [Wet/Dry Sanding with Fine and Medium Coarse grits.]
Painter's Mate Green Low Tac Tape

Pictures of the case I'm working on:

Spray-Painting the Top and Front with Matte Black Spray Paint after lightly sanding it for better application.

Using a Jig-Saw to cut part of the side panel out and putting a solid transparent acrylic backing behind it.

Unfortunately, I forgot to grab some U-Molded Rubber for the edge of the window and I ran out of daylight so it looks like I will have to this project tommorow.

My grand total for tools is approximately $117. The Jig Saw was under $40.
