has any 1 made an all acrylic case from scratch?


like went to home depot bought acrylic n stuff?

You can't buy Acrylic at the depot, plexy (polycarbonate) sheets and its to brittle to do full case out off. That and I'm not to sure, but I don't think they have any over 3/16" thick.

If you want to buy sheet acrylic for sides you can get it from here. They have all the parts you would need to build a case.

If you want every thing made from acrylic then you will need thicker acrylic you can get it from http://www.mcmaster.com, but a 1/4" thick 2 foot square peace will set you back at least 50 bucks. Then you will need special drill bits for plastic and fine tooth saw blades.

Unless you REALLY want to build you own, I'd buy pre-made.

ok thnx that helps alot.

just a little prioject for me an my dad.

some father son time maybe

They do have clear cases, I'm just not sure if they're acrylic or not.

I personally would hate a clear case because you can see all the dust.

This is a fairly nice acrylic case from Sunbeam Tech........

wanted a different type think ima pick up the danger den, torture rack case


http://www.dangerden.com/store/product. ... t=1&page=1

the danger den is a test bench rack, no top or front. If that is the style your going for take a look at the 'Bob Slay" from Mountain Mods

The DD "T" rack does have a top and fromt option.

Options:
Coming Soon - Send us your graphics and we'll cut it into the case
Case Panel Colors (available soon - standard is all clear)
Top Panel - For Security or Stacking Purposes
Front Panel - For Security

Cool, I stand corrected. I figured since it was a test rack that it wouldn't have sides.

well thnx i like the 1 from mountain mods better now.. like the color

The Mountain Mods has gotten some pretty good reviews in the past..........

Was your case a review sample or did you pony up for that bad boy?

I'm betting he bought it.

Review sample from when I was writing for System Cooling a few years back...........

cyberneticimplant:
I recall reading someone say an acrylic case with UV lights installed makes the dust inside look like a mini-galaxy swirling inside. Guess thats one negative turned into a positive, haha!

On the other hand no amount of effects could help me forget those little planets floating about are mostly dead human skin cells! Then toss in a few of these badboys "jetpacking" around in there:

j/k, enjoy your project with the pops odie2190 and post what project you settle on.

there's one thing i've been wondering, does the uv lights used in cpu cases really harm you?

good question.

lol i have no idea

what would be the best way to cut acrylic? and for more more smaller detail cuts as well?

Best way, watter jet, cheapest way scroll/band saw + high grit wet/dry sand paper + time + elbow grease to sand down the cuts after words.
