Plexiglass Questions

[Lars]

I would like to know what I should use to glue a plexiglass window to my case. Also, is it easy to cut plexiglass with a Dremel? TIA

I must also decide whether I put blue light in the case or some red light. Right now the only light is coming from the case fans. What do you think?

To attach the plexi you can either use 2 part epoxy that is made for plexi ( glass stores sell ) or use rivets. For that shape the rubber moulding would be most impossable.

I used silicone glue for my case and hard drive window.

I've been reading up on this, since I am going to put a window in my case, and I've seen that people used silicone.

What I am curious about is I want to use the molding, since I think it looks nice, but, if you put the molding, then wouldn't it be hard to glue the plexiglass in, since it would be raised off the side of the case due to the edge of the molding on the inside of the case?

thanks!

edit: sweet hard drive window, and nice case, Evadman

I glued the window to the case with some glue I got from home depot.

Looks great!

And yes, if you use the moulding then the plexi is a pain to glue because of the raised lip the moulding gives.
