How different is modding a plastic window then a glass window? I know the whole "avoid the fumes" difference, but will all tools still work the same? Drills still be effective or would that be overkill? (I guess I don't really know the type of plastic used.. blah).
I've got alot i want to do to the window, will the plastic hold up as well as a glass one would?
plexi-glass (plastic) would hold up a lot better and is a lot easier to shape and drill.
i've never heard of an actual glass window for a computer case....it's be extremely difficult to cut, and it would be kinda fragile. windows are almost always plexiglass or acrylic.
Glass would also make your computer much more heavy :eek:
Glass would protect you from those deadly UV :p
Stick with acrylic. If your going to cut it, wear a mask. There arent enough good reasons to use glass.
glass is: darn tough to scratch, almost impossible to drill, and easy to cut, as well as being heavy as sin.
lexan/plexi is: easy to scratch, easy to drill, cut, and bend, and is light.
just go lexan/plexi, unless you're looking for something really unique
and if you put plutonium in the case, make sure you can bloc the gamma adiation it emits with a 3 inch thick lead block. That'll make the case heavy.:DQuote:
