yes, i have the same one and it works great. I found that a thin cut or plastic cutting blade works best for the cuts, and that using a sanding bit works great for round corners, and sanding away the rough edges. I would not cut an xbox case without trying it on other plastic, cause it takes a while to get decent at using a rotary tool. My first time using the dremel was on an xbox, and I can honestly say the first one or 2 cases I did looked like complete sh*t. I have now used the same tool to do about 10 cases, and around 5 harddrives, and feel that I do rather quality work. Always use a hand file and sand paper for the last couple millimeters of sanding though. Goood luck, hope to see some projects you do sometime soon. hope I helped

my first rotary tool was something i picked up from a car boot, a diy shop branded 1, it was great but didn't last very long, but in my experience they all do the same job, but at least with dremel you get reliability behind the brand name
