thanks alot. I love playing games and my guitar also, I just try to mod in between. I've got my 4x12 Peavy amp right in between 2 computers.

Scored, drilled and primered. I scored the side panel to look as if it were built of several panels and the rivets will hold them together. In theory anyways. After several coats of primer and some light sanding with 400 grit paper, its ready for painting.

I used a Black Appliance Epoxy which has a very glossy finish without a clear coat. I've used this paint before and am pretty happy with the results. Notice the happy reflection...

Next cut and filed the plexi-glas to fit the window. It also overlaps the vent holes from the original panel. It fits perfectly and the rivets hold it on very securely. I was worried that the hot-glued rivets may not secure the plexi-glass to the panel, but with about 40 of em it worked fine.

Just another view of the plexi-glass and side panel after the paint job. I spend extra time rounding off corners of the plexi-glass and filing the edges down so it looks finished.

Chassi top is painted with the custom blow-hole cut out and the back side panel has the rivets installed. Its looking pretty sweet.
