Not to be a nuissance, but could you link me to a specific dremel. Also, would I cover the entire side panel with painters tape, then start cutting?

BINGO!!! Except that a jigsaw can be used also. You want that duble sided tape that is red. It holds stronger.

Will the cheapest dremels do the job? If so, that would be all I need.

If you are making a side panel from scratch I have a laser engravercutting machine that can cut it to exact dimensions, I have 1/8" acrylic. You can even add fan holes or cutout letters or laser etch a design. PM me if you are interested
