    Found out that the Agp-lock was very strong compared with the hk i'm use now, so I'm going to drop the AGP/PCI bracket. The dark sone will I saw off. I could borrow my uncles autosaw.

    Update: Frosted PSU

    Time for modding of the psu. I forgot to take pictures under the work, but here is the psu almost done. The white stripes is glue that is not dried yet.. The glue will be transparant when it is dried. .(HINT: Woodglue(It works))

    About PSU: When you "frosting" acrilic, you must do that over whole surface. It seems that your acrilic is "frosted" much more in the middle than on the edges and this isnt look good.
    Second thing is that you must use really fine sandpaper. If you dont, there will be deep scratches instead of smooth sanded surface. It needs a bit of patience.

    The woodglue would be one of those such choices. Woodglue isn't made for bonding plastic, I think you will find that it will crack off of the plastic very easily. Even clear (think fishtank) silicone would have been better, if you don't have any access to "real" plastics cement. :thumb:

    push the plexi between it
    clamp it
    en then heat it up with a blowdryer
    and bend it

    Javadog got my point exactly. gluing rather then screwing it in or otherwise affixing it was a bad idea. Glue works on somethings, but on others it is a bad idea as it will end up looking very badly =\

    For the sanding fine = frosted, sanding too fine keeps it clear, sanding it with 400-600 will give you a good look, and the scratches in the plexi, as long as you sand it evenly there wont be any...

    Ok. I will begin to sand it with finer sandpaper. The sides will be glued with Araldite. I don't have the silicon-mass that you're talking about. Anyway, thanks for the comments I have got.

    Edit. I found some acryl-silicon, so I am plugging the mass now.
