PlexiGlass Side..

Post by crispy-killer »

Hello everyone..

I'll try to make this as understandable as possible.

I got a Dell Dimension 9200, and was thinking about putting a plexiglass window in the removeable side, was thinking about how i should do it? About the tools to use, how to cut.. because, i donno if for example the cd drive will come in the way when ill screw the plexiglass to the side? ( because the cd rom drive seems an awfully close to the side and dont know if a plexiglass side will fit there:S )or if i just should cut the shape around the cd drive ??
Would be great if someone with a dell dimension 9200 with a plexiglass side could sent me a picture :D?

Thanks don't know if you understood my Question, but thanks for your time :D

P.s Is there a place where u can just buy the removeable side in plexiglass and just put that one on? thanks again

as far as cutting goes: i like to use a jigsaw to cut rough and then clean it up with a dremel

I would try to cut behind the hard drive and optical drive cages (so they aren't seen through the window) if possible.
