Anyone know where I can get some frosted plexiglass from. I want to put a sheet of on the bottom of my Chieftec Case to hide some wires and give off a little reflection as well as have a sheet up above the top rail by the PSU to hide some more wires and a ccfl.

You could lightly sand a sheet of plexi.If you use a fine grit it would be translucent w/o any huge scratches.

home depot has a spray that turns standard glass/plexiglass into frosted .. and i also think they now have ones with colour tints... you'll find it in their paint dept with the rest of the spray paint

I'll check at Home Depot but I think I might try sanding some too. See which one turns out better. What grit sand paper should I use? I have a couple different kits that go from 100-1600.

Hmmmm.Good question.I would guess the super fine stuff would be a good place to start.Maybe use a scrap piece for testing.

Here is the case I will be putting this in. I just want it on the inside between the window and above the top rail, cages, and bottom. This way I can hide a bunch of those unused and ugly wires.

Just take some fine sand paper to it, maybe 1000 grit. That should be good enough. If your willing to, you could frost a design into it

had a friend just use a dremmel and scratch a design in (quake 3 logo) looked pretty freaking sweet imo

The sand paper worked great. As soon as I can figure out to cut this stuff without breaking I might be able to get something working. One thing I didn't realize was the cage clips on the removable hd & 3.5 cages stick out almost to the side so a pice of plexiglass won't fit there. Anyone know a good and quick way to cut this stuff so I can cut out a spot for those clips to slide into. Thx

if you got a jig saw or somthing similar that should work just fine and make sure that you use a small toothed blade so the edges aren't too rough
