Modding Purspex - Where to get it? (Project Purspex Downloader Planning)

Im planning to start a mod, using a cheep case of ebuyer and stripping it down to the basics. then building a purspex shell round it. it will be pretty simple, but this is my first mod

So where can i get purspex. i have looked on coolercases.co.uk, but the sheets are to small. the case i was lookign at getting is 440mm X 445mm, so i need something bigger than that. i looked at performance-pc aswell, but shipping from america is costly.

Any help would be amazing thanks! lets get this mod going (maybe i should get some plans down )

 

try kustompcs, a bit expensive but the AC-Ryan panels they do there are 500x500mm square in either 3mm or 5mm thickness...

TIP: dont mess up and have to place two orders if you forget something, cos the postage is a bugger on that site...

All online places are fairly expensive, try your local glass shop or small-scale hardware store, try and bag some free offcuts

*EDIT* - oh and although they only say they sell to schools and orginistation, there is nothing stopping you from ordering from Hindleys (http://www.hindleys.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=7_57_60 try that link for their plastics section) prices arent bad, i havent ordered from them yet so i cant comment on the quality of the goods or the service

 

Cool, ill have a look on there. Thany you very much.

 

hindleys.co.uk Cheesecake!!! twice the size of everywhere else and the same price! and the service is great.

Damnit why does my F . T . W come up as cheesecake!!!

 

I'm here in America but I use Tapplastics.com. They have a wide range of plastic sheets in all colors transparent or solid. Just a thought if you have a last resort.

 

Go to technology supplies (it's in the sticky). It's about a tenner for a full size sheet.

 

Well i made some plans. Be it on some paper sketched with a pensil. Here
Its only going to house a single slot loading dvd drive in the top, and a single hard drive. using the frame of the origional case, it should be pretty simple (yea like that will happen) I have experance with electronics and working with purspex and metal, just i dont have much tools, so it could be fun.

Thanks for the links, looks like some good prices. lot less than i was looking at at first, hopefuly get this up and modding in the next few weeks!

Thoughts?

 

if you live in the uk you can get big sheets of clear perspex from focus
