    at first...don't know whether to put this in here or electronics

    i've got my plexi and i've engraved it
    i've got led's and soldered some resistors to it
    than drilled some holes thrue the plexi and put in the led's

    now... my question is...
    will the leds highlight the engraving AND arond the edge of my window in the case panel or only highlight the edge of my window???

    - the leds are pushed thru the hole in the plexi so wil the led's light to the side's or will the leds only shine in 1 straight line???

    P-T

    have you tried turning it on?
    Most likely this will work, lighting up the engraved section as well - you'll probably want to mess around with different led positions around the piece of plexi for the best coverage of the engraving.
    Only problem i can think of would be the distance of the led from the engraved picture

    well i haven't actually tried to turn it on...as pcmodshop had some delivery problems... with manufacterors and such...

    but once i have all the thing i need to finish up i will actually try what you say
    by playing with different settings or positions off led's and such
