Looking for specific casing

[Mr. Mulder]

I’m looking for transparent casing in the old desktop style, not the tower model, but the laying down type (not too sure if there’s an official term for it, I just call them desktops as apposed to tower? :huh: )

The only specs are it should be a desktop case, standard ATX, transparent and a UK order. I’ve looked about in the usual places but can’t seem to find one :unsure:

[TheDave]

is perspex (sp?) strong enough?

[Mr. Mulder]

yeah, nothings going on top :)

Cheers VB, that's exactly what I'm looking for, is it standard ATX though?


Fits all micro ATX and some of baby ATX size motherboards

Edit: I don't think they ship to the UK :ermm:

[Virtualbody1234]

Looks like it's for smaller than standard ATX. Maybe you could contact them and ask if you board will fit: http://www.logisyscomputer.com/viewsku.asp?SKUID=CS688CL&DID=C001

Send them an email: http://www.logisyscomputer.com/contact.asp

[Mr. Mulder]

They don't ship to the UK, it's a shame, that's the sort of case I meant :no:

Still open to suggestions :unsure:

[Mr. Mulder]

Bumpage - Still looking for one :unsure:

Fox, finding that specific style in Plexi could be tough, although constructing one yourself looks relatively simple ( compared to a tower design).

Are you sure you want to go with plastic?
All of the owners complain about the difficuly of keeping them clean and smudge-free.

[S!X]

Who would want a clear case in the first place :sick:

holy chit!
i was gonna say try 'n' see how much lexan would cost,
(as clocker said, it wouldnt be hard to build)
then i saw this......

just a wee bit expensive :P

.125 in. thick sheets are only $157 though :lol:
and the bitch is, 4' x 8' sheets are the best way to go, even if you dont need that much,
because they almost triple the price per sq. ft. if you ask em to cut it :wacko:

[clocker]

The trick to buying Lexan/Plexiglass is to go to a fabrication shop or distributor....they almost always have cutoffs to sell.

No wonder my shop class wont buy us any. :P

:lol:

shit, i worked in a machine shop for a pretty big company,
they had to have done 100 million a year in sales i'm guessing,
and we hardly ever saw a sheet of lexan :lol:
(we stocked all the replacement parts for the injection molding presses,
in addition to all of our machining supplies, because the techs in production
were fk-offs and couldnt change a light bulb w/o fking it up) :P

[Mr. Mulder]

It's definitely Plexiglass I'm after, cleaning won't be a problem ;) There's a local PC shop that has something similar to what I hope to build and the kind Sir that runs the shop simply replied with "Dunno" when I asked him where I could purchase the same sort of case :ermm:

I don’t really fancy making one, if anyone knows of any similar desktop style cases then links will be much appreciated :)

what a prick :dry:
our local shops will tell you an alternative shop if they dont have something

[peat moss]

Those people finally e- mailed me back . A month later !

Quote : Not at this time, but perhaps in the future if enough people expressed interest.

I settled on an Antec Plusview 1000 btw,
