New Window Started Today
I cut my windows for the Antec today. Still needs some trim after I get it painted. Plex is in but only tempory. I didn't cut out for the 80mm fan yet because it might be a while before it gets painted. Post more later.

Thanks Danial, just those four holes took almost 2 hours to cut and clean up. So far I'm happy with the way it looks but................ my wife hates it. But then she hates my whole system.

It's not too bad right now. I only have about 12-14" of double sided tape holding the Plex in until I get it painted. It's one piece of Plex so once all the paint and trim is done I'll use double side tape (foam kind) every where Plex touches the door. When complete I expect it to be&nbsp;at least 85-90% as sturdy as before (I hope). Damn this thing was built tough. I went through a couple of jig saw blades and half a dozen heavy duty cut off disks. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&n bsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbs p;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp ;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&n bsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbs p;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&n bsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbs p;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; S.W.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Went this morning to get more loom (to finish) and yes the Plex. is just stuck on the back using Double sided (foam kind) tape. No rubber (I don't like the way rubber mold looks). But I do have some 1/4" wide chrome&nbsp;door edge molding (for cars) made by "TrimBright" that I'll use once the box is painted.

I found it at "Auto-Zone" but I have seen it at most Auto part shops and WalMart. And it's cheap, two sticks 27" long cost about 3 bucks. I used&nbsp;five sticks on&nbsp;my four windows.
