1st-Alu is short a short form of alumunium.Plexy / Plexi / Perspex is a acrylic plastic like those car plate number.

2nd-To do a motherbord tray,you must know the thickness that you need to support all the riser (screws ),the motherboard,gpu ETC.

3rd-I think you can use acrylic as a start.Alumunium is damn expensive and kind of hard to get.Other than than,acrylic is easier to cut since its only a plastic material.

4th-Try to get all those materials you need 1st,then do a review on the net.You can ask anyone here to help you. smile.gif

Yes,its not weird to make a motherboard tray with acrylic.Try to imagine a full transparent casing by sunbeam.The motherboard are made of acrylic.

For the side panel at the motherboard tray side,just leave it to non-windowed.

Just focus on the left side panel.
