Plexiglas isn't that easy to work with. Sure it cuts pretty easy but there are other things that make it hard like not holding threads well and having to watch for scratches as well as easily clogging cutting tools. Your doing fine keep up the good work.

You are exactly right. But I want to add chipping to the list of negatives. The edges of this stuff chips so easily its rediculous. Just the fact that this case has been under construction and moved around for so long is causing more and more chips in the pieces here and there. I'm afraid I'm gonna get done, peel the paper off, and cry because of all the chips, scratches, and uneven corners

Oh well, I guess it's good experience...

Oh yeah, and if you all haven't noticed, I am going with the "no bends" idea.

good stuff! can't wait to see it done!

Yea it does chip easy. You could radius the edges if the chips are small. There's a plastic called rexolite that chips if you look at it funny try working that sometime.

OH SO MANY GOODIES!!!!

Can't wait to get that front panel finished so I can start installing all this great UV reactive stuff!

Notice that there is some blue mixed in there. The frames of the fans, the blue backlighted temperature sensor, UV blue connectors, the blue LED's behind the knobs on the fan controller, and the Bulgin anti-vandal switch which has a blue illuminated ring. This is because it is just so darn hard to find these accessories all in green. Since I'm a cheapscate and didn't want to buy and solder in green LED's everywhere and pay extra for the green backlit bulgin switch and try to rig up a way to make the temperature sensor appear green, I've decided to mix up the color scheme with a little UV blue here and there. Not part of the original plan, but I still think it will look good.
