    Maplins sell some small non-brushed aluminium sheets, try under enclosures -> accessories. Dont hold me too that tho, maybe try a search instead. Used some for a mouse mat ;)

    Alu and Zinc were trendy a little while ago in kitchens, try B&Q or Wickes. Probably get some big sheets from there.

    Whats it for?

    no me neither thats why I was asking here for peeps who have. Its most likely that they aint sold here because none of the tech sites cut as many lian li windas as the likes of pcmods !

    Well the Lian Li windows are riveted in, CCM offer various types and sizes with rubber trim and have done for a while, they also do custom mods so I'm pretty sure they do them themselves ... cant hurt to at ask em. :)

    EDIT; Ah hang on .... I'm talking coolcasemods.com not coolermaster, is that what you thought? :)
