Thoughts On An Acrylic Case.

[g4m3rof1337]

Are there any problems with Acrylic cases? I was thinking about getting something like this, http://www.xoxide.com/sunbeam-ufo-cube-case-clear.html for my Xbox.

Would I run into any problems that would fry the motherobard or anything? And how easy is it to cut?




Thanks.

well i actualy like your 360 you modded it quite nice,however icant see there been any problems with putting the insides inside that case.

i suppose you would have to drill your own mounting holes though for the 360s mainboard?

Yeah, that's the thing..


I made a thread about what I want to do.

I want to try using a regular power supply to power it.

Ive been told that they are very easy to scratch and get messy from dust and such on the inside.

If that's the only problem, I don't mind that.

I just thought motherboards were prone to getting fried with an Acrylic case.

As long as you use standoffs your motherboard shouldn't get fried. Modding an acrylic case, however, is pretty difficult. If you drill/cut too fast the plastic would melt, but if you drill/cut too slowly, it'll chip. I suggest you practice on scrap pieces being going to the real thing.
