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.

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.

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

NOOOO rule 1 never waste anything if you dont want it i or any1 else will have it

other than that good job

[985323]

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

[985323]

Yay Update, i started cutting and got the basic pieces done
heres the side panels 20"x17" and the frame pieces

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!
