personal prefernce is a jigsaw much easier, with the appropriate blades! but then again if you don't have a jigsaw but have a dremel, use the dremel and vice versa

I also second that

acrylic
c channel
double sided tape
masking tape*
marker pen
dremel/jigsaw
appropriate blades/cutting wheels
and thats about all you need

Do you mean make the incision with the dremel and cut the rest with the Jig Saw? You can't make an incision with a Jig Saw.

Looking at a window, you'll want a piece of acrylic around the size you want
Some #4301 (Or similar, I got 4011 and it's just a smaller roll but same stuff) 3M [Scotch] Mounting Tape
Square /w Ruler for lining up your template [Optional]
Dremel [Or something to make the first incision]
Jig Saw [To cut the template out or you can use a dremel for the entire thing.]
A Pack of Jig Saw Blades [Most Jig Saws only come with a single wood-cutting blade]
Safety Glasses
Hand File
U-Channel Rubber Molding [Might be difficult to find. Mine was part of a big door-building set but some kid had cut 2 strips off the giant main strip so the store gave the strips to me for free! <3]

A Jig Saw will be much easier to use with a Dremel, however I'm sure a dremel is much more precise. Just take your time with the Jig Saw and you should be fine, and you can get a decent Jig Saw cheaper than a Dremel anyways.

I can't find the U channel

Just got back from Lowes and no one there could find what I needed.

Anyone....Anything?

3m's 4010 tape is the way to go. Stick and forget. Hold 10lbs. Which you will never need for a window, but its nice to know it wont just fall out.

A jigsaw with 18tpi ( teeth per inch ) should be good enough. At walmart you can get a jigsaw for about $35 with $10 pack of blades. About the same total price for a dremel. Just make sure you have a way to start the hole.

If you go the dremel route, you going to need the really good cutting wheels or a 20 pack of the ok stuff. They wear out fast, and it takes a long time. Took me 3 hours of patient cutting to do the dremel only window. Then again I was cutting a brushed aluminum side panel, so any imperfections are obvious.

Last thing, make sure you have a file. A file is a must have even if your using c channel to cover your cut. It will help let it lay flatter and takes off all the random crap left after the cut.
