Black Acrylic

[Bellerophon]

Hi,

Has anybody built a case using black acrylic? Would be interested to know about the highs and the lows of case building using this medium and what sort of tools you need and the costs.

Further Update

I am particulalarly interested in an HTPC case.

I have managed to find one quite in depth project by a Brazilian Engineer which was good but not too detailed though re costs, tools etc.

Many thanks for taking the time to look at my post. If you want the link to the article I am sure that I will be able to dig it out, just let me know.

Look forward to it, seems to me it cant be that hard providing you have the right tools and a good set of drawings. (Says me! - a total newbie to case modding)

Your'e a Superstar Teknoid, have bookmarked, initial look at the article looks like it's spot on.

Cheers
