juz wanna share..
i bought 2.5mm thick clear acrylic from jalan pasar..the row behind asiapark carpark to be exact. approx 1ft x 1ft costs me rm7 only
there's also other thickness..for example 4mm thick sized 1ft x 1ft is around rm 10..there are more colors and thickness to choose from (clear to tinted acrylic) normally sold in big size (door size), costs around rm 90 or less...

wow!!! just what I needed had I not found out something about my uncle. Hehe, he actually owns a "precision engineering" company! LoLX!!

So can get him to help me cut my casing and even have acrlyic! Senang kerja aku. Now all I haf to do is paint! Hehe...

One cool stuff I found out is that, to make the cuts so precise they use water. Annen they run this weird looking thing that rotates and cuts the metal sheet.
Awesome stuff!

oic! They're rather precise aren't they? I believe MNPCTECH used those to cut his casings....or was it some dude in bit-tech.net?

no wonder he told me usually if customers ask, he'll charge. tongue.gif
Anybody wanna do it here? I can get it done for a cheaper price than shops like...OP? Precise too. Is this considered adveritsing? I dunno, cuz I'd just feel it benefits LYN members.
