and for sanding out the edges, look for one of the tungsten carbide bits, they eat through steel like butter and never dull (mine hasnt anyway) but it does send out like a million shards of very thin steel, everywhere. so wear lots of protection on hands, face, arms, everything.

good luck
mod on.

If you want to cut a big hole or window on steel case, jig saw is much more practical. Dremel is just too slow to make a long cut. That is mt experience.

graycat is completely correct. maybe a router would be better than a jigsaw, but i used a jigsaw on mine (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=2372610#post2372610) and it worked great, even on curves. about the bits, yeah, you should be able to get them each for less than $10, but that tunsgten carbide one is gonna push your total to above 10 for sure.
