Your going to need tons of patience to mod, so start it with google...

It depends on the type of modding you want to do, the tools you have, the budget...

We cant find a perfect modding guide for you...

Start with - Buy the PCF and do the LED mod in it (Created by DJV of these here forums...)

I'm glad that that guide inspired you to mod

You're right, case modding IS easy. I think it's VERY easy, but what makes it "hard" is that you need to be VERY patient and you must be dedicated, otherwise you're gonna quit out of pure laziness half way through.

Anyway, like schase said, i will be updating my site with a new guide every month, but if you want more, google really is your friend. You need to first decide what it is that you want to mod, and how you want to mod it, and if you can't figure it out on your own, ask google, or ask right here, i'm sure we can help you

Also check "this" thread. Most of the stuff you might need to mod you can get from those suppliers.

For your basic tools I would suggest you start with a Pencil grinder/Engraver/Dremel. You can get a nice one at Makro for about R250. Or go to Builders Warehouse and get the real thing, original Dremel, for about R500 (Can't remember the exact price). Then you would need some sanding paper starting at say 200 grit and get upto 2000 grit. And remember to get some 400, 800 and 1200 grit as well. That is to smooth any Plexi/Perspex you might work on. Get a decent set of screw drivers, pliers, side cutters and a hammer (for those times you really need to let go of some stress...). There are many other small tools you should consider as well like a square and measuring tape as well. Maybe a center punch as well to work accurately on metal. a Drill is always handy. If anyone else can add stuff then do so.

Hope this helped
