so i cut out a window in my side and a friend of mine said that i better use a rubber material around the edge before putting the plexi behind it...
what kinda of rubber band or some sort should i use? :?
oh and if anybody could help me by finding some plexi engraving tutorial i would be pleased :D :up:
*edit* oh one last question, does anybody know a cheap place where i can get real brigth and shiny green LED's? i don't live in the USA or such so don't say wallmarkt orso... i am willing to buy online, got to buy the new fan's online anyway :)

Np. Glad to help. Google is a good search engine. I just gave the first ones that came up, but I'm sure there are tons of places to order from, and maybe even some in your area. The u-channel you can probably get at a local hardware store. LED's from a local electronics store if they carry specialty items. We have Radio Shack here which carries small electronics components including some LED's.
