    i was just wondering if anybody knows where i can get the square window kit cheaper then $14.99, seen at pcmods.com here .

    Yes, I'm cheap ;) but i dont want to have a do it yourself window, i want an actual kit.

    I can't get rid of this feeling that I HAVE TO MOD SOMETHING. Maybe ill take a crack at modding my toaster...

    I wouldn't mind seeing my bread actually toast from a different angle with the help of a home made toaster window kit. j/k but it would be pretty cool. but anyways, any tips where i can find a window kit cheaper than pcmods.com?

    I'm not sure you will be able to find a kit that is cheaper that 15 buckets. I'm looking to get a window kit myself and that seems to be the cheapest that I could find.

    you can get the lexan or plexi pretty cheap from home depot if you dont need the moulding. if you need the moulding it will cost you at least $15

    I think I'll just get the kit from pcmods.com :p It comes with the template and everything.

    Since im a newbie, i wanna do everything with kits n stuff to start out, then ill get into the custom stuff once i get good at it.

    Can I recomend Glass for modding the toaster. I have to think plexi might not take the heat, :D ;) :D

    Let us know if you end up finding a cheaper window kit that that. I am in the same boat...gotta grab a nibbler first~!!!

    Heres one for $12.50
    http://www.bestbyte.net/Category.cfm?CategoryID=28&Keyword=

    The strange thing is, Pricewatch list these guys and areacomputers.net as having $10 window kits. If you call em both they wwill prolly honor the prices posted on pricewatch. If ya have trouble finding them on pricewatch look under Cases and it has a listing for windows.

    peace.

    PS: I've bought stuff from bestbyte before, no probs and quick delivery.

    Go to Home Depot like others have said. They just have hunks of plastic (i think plexi) and you can buy it cheap. I bought a pretty large sheet (3x3?) for like $4.50. The only problem I had was finidng the rubber gasket material so I just bought that from caseetc or pcmods. I found a Xerox Window Transparency which I printed out a biohazard sign and my name on and stuck it on the inside. Also the plexi at Home Depot that I got was like 1/4" thick. I don't know what kind of windows most people have but I suspect their's is the cheap flimsy plastic that you can hold and wave and it bends. I mention the thickness because it's a b!tch to cut.
