Very nice, looks like the cuts turned out well in the end. Look forward to seeing them with the backing tape off.

Yeah the jigsaw worked great, had to buy a plastics blade first though. I just filed down the edges that weren't straight it all fits perfectly. Tomorrow I may start the PSU cover but I have a 1000 word essay to write . Until then...
Happy Modding.

Well some more plastics work done today. With some inspiration from Xperiment's mod (Reality Bytes) I decided to make a cover for my wireless LAN card.
Here is the victim, a D-Link Air Plus G54 Wireless LAN Card:
Here is the disassembled card, took all of 30 seconds lol:
Here is the cover I made this morning:
All of the part ready to go together:
Installed:
A different view:
And here is a view of it inside my old computer, doesn't it look great:
Well that's the finished Wireless LAN cover.
Special thanks to Xperiment and has fantastic mod Reality Bytes for the inspiration for this mini mod.
Today I also started the work on my PSU cover.
Here is a pic of the cut plexi:
I cut the plexi and rounded the two edges you will see. Well that's all I have for you at the moment. Until then...
Happy Modding.
EDIT: Sorry about the blurry pictures, my camera doesn't like shiny objects or the glowing plexi lol

Looks great the boy 4rm oz! Hmm, I wonder how you shorten "the boy 4rm oz" into an easier to write name... :thinks:
What'd you use to cut that? The edges look pretty damn good! Give it a lot of sanding?
RIP Bucko
You can just call we "the boy" lol. I used a jigsaw with a plastics blade, the blade I used worked great, like a knife through butter. I didn't do any sanding really, just filed down long sides and stuff like that. I took some of Experiments advice and left the edges rough to diffuse the glow more.

Coolio the boy (lol).
Maybe I'll stop at some stores after work today and look for some plastics blades for my jigsaw. The only good cuts on plastic I've gotten with it were with a wood blade and 1/4" pink plexi. The metal blades just melted it, and the wood made it jump (this was with 1/8" though). Looks great though, +rep.
RIP Bucko
Thanks for the rep, the plexi I cut was about 4mm thick and was rather rigid, got absolutely no melting using these blades. Good luck.
EDIT: haha you just gave me 7 rep points yay.

Looks good.. +rep from me.
Thank you all for the rep so far. I was going to finish my work on the PSU cover today but brought the wrong domed nuts. Now I have to take them back and find a place that sells a smaller size.
