Keep your receipt as well.. I went through 3 of the danged RatShack ones before I got my window cut out... The spring mounts tend to not be made for more then a few dozen bites. It does the job MUCH easier then a dremal imo though...
Also does great for nibbling rectangle switch holes in my truck.

Real good for blowholes, but not so good for windows. The cutting edge wears out and ripples the metal you are cutting after a while.

they are a good workout for your arms/hands IMO, did my first fan hole with one (which was an ~80x80x160 rectangle). It went ok, looked kinda crappy cause I didnt have a drill for a starting hole but it does work. havent tried it for a window yet. Used dremel last time (which is a pain cause it takes forever and hard to keep straight), not to mention the flying bits when a cutting wheel breaks
but ya, lets see some pics of your work

nibblers hurt
I used a nibbler when i did my window

Forgive the old picture.
That took me quite a while with a nibbler going what seemed like an 1/8th inch at a time. And my hands were extremely sore after it was all said and done.
The nibbler broke three days after that project.
Seems that your thread is bragging about owning a nibbler. . give it a couple days and the NIBBLER will own YOU

I plan on sticking the AMD logo on the other side of my case, even though I cant see that side... Since I painted the frame of the computer, I think it would be best to show off even more of the paint. my only gripe is that there are exaust holes towards the top of the panel and they aren't the prettiest thigns...
(the holes used to be on the bottom of the panel on the other side, but the panel is warped and hard to put on/take off, so I swapped sides with the panels. Looks good, but the holes draw a LOT of dust in.. gotta tape 'em up sometime.)
