Re: scratch plexi case builds
Oooooh, fun. Plexi. My first case mod project was to build a plexi case from scratch. I had no idea what I was in for. 8)
Didn't turn out too bad, and my wife still uses the case, so that's something. Let me know if you need any pointers.
Re: scratch plexi case builds
yeah its going to be fun, if anybody is wondering, no my other project is not on hold , im just waiting for my paypal to be verified so i can buy all the parts necissary, i will buy the parts for this computer on a later date when i finish the cases themselves
Re: scratch plexi case builds

Re: scratch plexi case builds
true I was thinking about using that waste for the hdd cage, but remember i saved all this plexi from the garbage at my work
Re: scratch plexi case builds
Yay Update, i started cutting and got the basic pieces done

then these white pieces will be bent in a 90 degree angle so they will end up as the corners

Just wait till you hit something with a router. It's been quite a while since I built my plexi case, and I'm still finding "snow" around my workshop!
