Plexi Install

I don’t want to let the photos build up and build up, so I’ll post these and be done with it.

I installed the little bit of plexi into the top of the case, and then attached it to the frame. Some hot glue did the trick very nicely. I picked up 24 sticks of hot glue for £2 (about $3.50) the other day (Thanks Dad) and I’ll probably be using that to install all of the windows and stuff.

Then I installed the hardware just to be certain that everything will fit. Let me assure you that these photos don’t do this case justice. I never in my wildest dreams thought that it would look this cool when I put it together. I can’t wait to finish this off. If the rest comes out looking like this, it’s going to be amazing.

Questions

Don’t try using the hot glue on painted metal surfaces with any flex in them - it just doesn’t hold - well it didn’t on the case I built for my son a year or so ago….

It’s really thick steel, so that won’t be going anywhere-but the side panel isn’t so tough, so that might be an issue then. Thanks for the heads up-I’ll use Epoxy Resin when I attach that.

now this is nice! just love.. I’m talking with my parents now.. they say it’s cool! I asked them if I could paint my case orange dad says he’ll try to get some cans (for free).. don’t trust his speed tho but still! amazing looks.. which do justice for themselves!

I appreciate that! Thanks very much. It’s going to look great when my new fan arrives (Thursday) and when I’ve fixed the wiring.
