OK i've been thinking about building a case from scratch (i have an old coffee table thats goning to take the brunt of the mod... using it for a base... maybe sides) but i lack 1 key thing 2 large pieces of acrylic Clear non coloured Sheet about 700x600MM Clear Blue (darkish) Sheet about 700X600MM Whats the best place to get this? and wont cost a bomb.... i'm going down to homebase tomorrow (not my fisrt choice believe me but its the nearest ok shop but i doubt they will sell what i want). I've see a few places that do it but not in those sizes.
get with your local sign shop. they usually have access to shedloads of the stuff, or can get it at a reasonable price. A scrap bin at the sign shop would be even better if they let you dig through it
I only posted this 4days ago http://www.technologysupplies.co.uk/ Never used them before but that is where my college gets there acrylic from.
i'm not sure we have a signshop here..... its prob 1 of the very few things that isnt down at Livingston center.... got everything else.... i'll see what homebase has and i'm heading over to maplin (massibe new store) to see what they have... if not i'll give the link about ago..
Although I wasn't lucky, you might wanna look under "platic" in your local phone book. I get my stuff from technologysupplies.co.uk.
