 Plexi Window & Neon Light Mods

Woohoo!!! Finally I finished my Plexi window and Neon Lights Mods!!! You probably have seen this many times before and I have decided to join the craze with my very own mods! The victim was my poor, poor Enlight 7237 OM3! You can consider this as a mini-guide if you like, coz I skipped a lot of steps and assume that you are familiar with the hand tools and equipments that I used for this mods. So, ENJOY!!!

As for the shape of the window, it all depends on individuals. I decided to go with the one similar to TweakTown's posting on the AMD T-Bird case recently. It was not just a plain rectangular shape, but with rounded edges. As you can see below, the shape cuts into the 120mm fan hole that I had cut for the Dremel How-To Guide recently. Looks like I won't be needing it anymore!! For the window itself, I will be using a 3mm thick Acrylic sheet that I got from a hardware store. It costs me S$16 for an 4 square feet size. You can go for a thicker one if you like too. Or maybe a coloured sheet would be nice too!!

Mark out the outline carefully so that you have a decent amount of space to mount your plexi window, without presenting any obstructions to the other hardwares in your PC or the case structure itself. Once you are satisfied, it's time to cut the window.

I also got some rubber linings for sealing up the window edges. I'm not sure what they were used for, but I have seen some window frames elsewhere being sealed up with this linings. Apart from aesthetic purposes, it also protects your fingers from the sharp edges of the window frames.

As usual, my weapon of choice was the railgun. Ooppss!! That's Quake!!! Sorry, I mean the Dremel, with the Re-inforced Cut-Off Wheels. Follow your markings carefully with the wheel coz if you screw up here, there's no way out!!

Once you are done with the window, change to the grinding wheel attachment and start smoothing out the rough edges made by the Dremel. As for the waste, you cut it some more and make a frisbee out of it!!! Joking!!!

You should get something like this once the edges had been smoothen out!

With that outta the way, it's time to fix on the rubber lining onto the window edges!!!
