suchuwato Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 ebuyer.com sells plexi covers for el cheapo, but thay require a bit of modding to fit nicely. Also make sure your case has mounting rails first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

flareback Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Plexi isn't really meant to be bent. You might try cutting it to size for the top and sides and then putting the pieces together somehow. like some sort of epoxy or screws or something.
