Okay, so I posted in the Tech area about a Drill…asking for ideas as to mini-projects I could do with it.
Well, i have a new toy now. I went to the store and bought myself a Dremel tool. I need some IDEAS as to things to do with it. Like any projects, etc. I’m bored and unemployed so… i’m trying to keep myself busy. The book a day thing is getting boring now. 
So I have a Dremel Tool and I’m planning to put cool LED lights inside my computer case. Anybody else have any ideas / experience? I would gladly try my luck with the Dremel.
Thanks all.

dremels are great…
almost as great as leathermans (or leathermen if you’re into that sort of thing)
since i’m bored, i can’t help you come up with any ideas…
if you’re really bored, figure out how many legos it would take to build a 20x20x10… and price it out… you can now buy a 100 bricks for 6 bucks through the new lego bulk policy…
one of my social committee friends was really (really) bored at work today and figured it out… i was fairly impressed… as wpi social committee we could buy well over a million bricks…
anyways, dvd calls. lata

another idea is buy some propeller blades and stick them to the tools and u have some great fans…Dont have a Drill press?? Well a roll of Duct tape and some pullys and things of that sort then you got a drill press and if u get real good @ making thoes systems you can make a mini milling machine
