What else do you need? Motherboard top shelf (looks like it's an onboard jobby) Hard disk 2nd shelf CD-ROM 3rd shelf PSU botom shelf Meblin
I didn't do it. I just posted it for everyone else to enjoy. He use EL glow wire for lighting though...
I read the article...... the fella stated he cut all the shelve pieces at once on a table saw... I tried it a long while ago..with several different blades on my 10" and 8" table saws.... lets just say it wasn't pretty... even with a panelling blade it still chipped it all up and ultimately just trashed the plexi. A plexi shower describes it best when the blade bound up and the plexi shattered. Only small amounts of the red stuff leaked out my hand. Has anyone else tried this and had any success?
I just got a new carbide 60 tooth blade for my table saw and it works good. I have only cut 1/4" stuff though, I am scared to cut thinner stuff since it vibrates so much and cracks (/me remembers experiment with jigsaw). When I was shopping for blades the guy showed me a 80 tooth blade made for cutting plywood and plastic. It wasn't multitasking enough for me to buy but tempted to try it.
It souldn't be a problem as long a s the work is going like this ---------------->>>>--------->>>>>> and with a little less feed speed Meblin
In the article, the writer indicates a 40 tooth blade will work as well. Anyone use a 40 tooth? I think I'd go for 60 or better, but then I'd rather buy the correct blade than replace damaged plexi.
I hadn't tried the table saw with 1/4" plexi... only the thinner stuff 0.092" or something like that... I may have been thinking backwards... saving the heavy expensive stuff and experimenting with the thinner cheap stuff... I may have to give it another go...but think i'll grab a new blade on my way home first just to be sure.
It is best to use a blade that has teeth which are a little thicker than the blade, also a fine tooth blade running at a medium-high speed and a slighty slower feed rate (don't push too hard against the blade, let it doo the work) would be benificial. It goes without saying that a new, sharp blade should be used.
Plexi cuts nicely with a jig saw... esp variable speed... Just use the metal cutting blades (i use the 32TPI jobbers) and cut nice and slow supporting the plexi so it doesn't jump around from the vibrations and cause stress cracks.

Heh, no worries there, [H] put mine on the front page twice Kyle liked it so much. once and again Robert (@ HiTechMods) is cool and does good work.
