I'm gonna need a jigsaw and a drill with tons of attachments for my new water cooled rig :clap:

Anyone know of a good site to buy these tools from? I especially need a lot of drill attachments.

Can you recommend me a special brand, or something to look for in them?
 
Try http://www.harborfreight.com/ (one of many sites to find tools) it has lots of goodies to look at.
I like the to get powertools with a variable speeds that way the work is more controlled/accurate. Also is the foot adjustable. Another feature to look for is, how many attachments are available for that model. Brand reconition, though there is lots of cheapy brands that work well.
Size can be important in modding; also, you don't need the largest tool on the market for modding, the cuts can be in rather tight spaces at times. Hope this generic info helps.
 
I'm partial to Makita, Dewalt, Craftsman, and Black & Decker myself. The tools they make seem to last forever... I have a makita cordless drill that's older than me (I'm 15) and still works, but the battery's shot. I also have a 30 year old Craftsman jigsaw that still alive an kick'n, and my backup jigsaw was made by wards in what looks like the 60's!!! Still works fine :D I also seem to notice that old tools hold up MUCH better than new ones... They're also cheaper *cough* yardsale *cough*
 
makita, craftsman, and black and decker... I use their stuff.. all works fine.. after 5 years of hardcore use.
