    you want a metal cutting jigsaw blade, this blade will have more, finer teeth than a wood cutting blade.
    the higher the number of teeth the better the cut, but make sure you remove every electronic component from the case first, including the power supply because metal shaving can short out lots of electronics and the jigsaw causes some major vibrations which could destroy some of your more delicate components

    all in all i've had more success with a dremel, it may take longer but it seems to work better
