I like that it minimizes the appearance of the bottom plexi so that you don't notice it as much. Which is good since I had to put it there out of necessity rather than for any aesthetic reason.
BTW, isn't the internet a strange wonderful thing? What we have here is one guy in Sweden and another guy in the USA who will never meet, but are communicating over a common interest in video games. Isn't it cool to design something on your computer, and then see it printed out on another continent just a few hours later? Your English is really good too, it sounds completely natural to me. The only foreign language I know is Spanish and it's pretty rusty now. If I was trying to converse in Spanish it would sound very broken and weird....
Anyway, I will definitely not have a chance to do anything until maybe Sunday. So check for updates in a few days.

Oh yeah, I forgot to explain that. It is the metal from the panel I got from LizardLick. Originally I cut the plexi to the exact shape. What happened is that when I was drilling out one of the corner holes it shattered the whole corner of the plexi. I was already on my second attempt, and didn't want to cut a third piece of plexi. So I cut off that corner of the plexi that shattered and cut the other 3 to match. I thought it looked cool so I stuck with it.
emphatic:
I see. Perhaps painting the panel (that's showing) white as well would look even better?
Not a fan of Whiskey myself, but I like both German and American beer though. :afro: Mmm, a cold Flensburger pils or a Bud anytime.
BobA:
No matter what color you end up painted the underlying plexi I would paint it underneath as that gives the very best finish. Painting on top of the plexi will never be as smooth or uniform and is prone to scratching and other damage.
Good progress :applaud: :applaud:
