    ok, ive *just* cut the hole for my window. Now all i need it the molding and the perspex...its an odd shape so i need to find some perspex in a sheet so i can cut it.

    1) Does anyone know any online / offline store that sell the stuff in the UK?

    2) What width does the perspex have to / should be

    3) Anyone recommend any type of window mold / trim?

    thanks for your help

    i would say don't bother cutting the plexi into the odd shape, just get a square peice big enough to cover the area, tidy up the edges nicely and then just stick the square on the inside, IMO it looks better than moulding, just amke sure the cut is tidy on the panel :)

    I got 1.2m x 0.6m x 3mm clear acrylic from Wickes (UK) it was £8.

    Enought for 3 midi tower windows. Coz thats how may I did with it :D

    I used Blowhole trim to tidy the cutout from Kustom PC its 50p/metre. Stuck my windows on from the inside, like Loopy said.

    I looked round for ages trying to find cheap 'H' shape moulding. Cheapest was £3.50 per 30cm! Thats why I went for the 50p 'U' shape blowhole stuff.
