Simple Noob Question

Where do you guys buy plexiglass from?

[.Maleficus.]

I got mine at a home improvement/hardware store. It is supposed to be a glass replacement, so it's big. There are websites that specialize in plexiglass and the like, but I can't remember it right now. I'll try to find it.

Edit: I don't think this is the one I was on before, but it will probably work if you want to buy online.

I get most of mine from Tap Plastics (tapplastics.com). If you are near one, they even have a "bargain bin" that they put all the odd sized pieces in for WAY cheap.

estreetplastics.com ... isnt bad... a little expensive though

However, I choose to get mine from a local store. I would suggest checking the site out though.

www.tapplastics.com - Its an easy site that gets to the point and doesnt clutter their pages in useless information. Just point, click and tah dah! Insta acrylic. ENJOY!

Thanks guys. I have a Lowes Hardware and a Home Depot near me. Hopefully they'll have something, if not, I'll definitely check out the sites you suggested.

I have another question, so I'll just post it here instead of making a whole new thread. I wanted to add air filters to my case so it wouldn't get real dirty inside. I didn't want to spend a lot of money, so I was thinking maybe just buying a pack of air filters you use for home air conditioning, and cutting them up and putting them over any open areas of the case. But after thinking about it, I realized I'd have to change them almost every month. So I was curious if anyone had any ideas on a way to filter air for cheap, that would also be reusable?

I have used the filters that go in the registers, not on the heater/ac end of things. They come in several sizes (I use the 12x4 size), and are cheap enough that you do not have to re-use them, but they can be washed and used again.

Similar to this:

BTW: Home Despot and bLowes usually do not carry the thicker plexi, usually only up to 1/4".

I thought that 1/4" was what cases usually used for case windows? Should it be thicker? Also, what is best to secure a case window? I was thinking maybe just some small screws and nuts? I don't really want to use the molding.

it all depends on what you plan on usin it for....i use 1/8 for windows personally.....cuz thars all i have

but f you look in the worklogs like at fozzys hellgate london mod hes usin thick stuff for almost a frame arounr the windows he cut

1/8"-1/4" is fine for case windows. I have not installed one, but I _was_ planning on using some industrial style bolts when I add a window to my system.

Clear silicon would work too.
