window etcher

[Tethandros]

I'm looking for a company that will laser etch a computer window for $100 or less. I've already heard of Hyperkore, but I was wondering who else is out there.

[TheGreatSatan]

the PCmodshop or Xoxide maybe?

[Tethandros]

I've looked there, but all they seem to have are window installation kits. Kustom PCs seem to have some available, but all the prices are in pounds. I would like the shipping to take place at least in America, so that takes that out of the running...

Hey, I was just browsing the forum for the first time and I wasnt even planning on registering until i read your post. I'm a cnc machinist here in Cincinnati, Ohio and I think I may be able to help you out. We've been looking for some new business, and although i have never etched plexiglass before, i have the resources and some plexiglass panels off of a clear tower i built to mess around with. My cnc machine is PC based, so i can work with jpeg's or gif's if you had a picture you want etched.

I'll run some test tomorrow and post some pictures of some samples as well as prices.

frozencpu might be a place to check.

Also a lot of people use the dremmel to etch there Acrylic.

Thanks a ton, Jason. I'm glad to see that there's an alternative to ready made windows..

i am also interested in some etching and i was wondering if u could cut on aluminum

[Tethandros]

you can cut on aluminum, just not with the same depth as plexiglas; basically, you can just do outlines.

also you might check with directron, i know they do custom painting and all. Though I don't know for sure.
