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:
is perspex (sp?) strong enough?
yeah, nothings going on top :)
Cheers VB, that's exactly what I'm looking for, is it standard ATX though?
Edit: I don't think they ship to the UK :ermm:Quote:
Fits all micro ATX and some of baby ATX size motherboards
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/views...688CL&DID=C001
Send them an email: http://www.logisyscomputer.com/contact.asp
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:
Bumpage - Still looking for one :unsure:
These people ship world wide . Also will help to design a case.

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.
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:
The trick to buying Lexan/Plexiglass is to go to a fabrication shop or distributor....they almost always have cutoffs to sell.
My link , I email'd after posting here his morn. Because I think its in my home town , have yet to answer 12 hours later. Really must want the business . :D
No wonder my shop class wont buy us any. :PQuote:

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
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:Quote:

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

I settled on an Antec Plusview 1000 btw,
