Opaque/Translucent Acrylic ATX Case? - Tilted Forum Project - TFP - Sexuality, Philosophy and Political Discussion

Anyone know where to find one? Every single acrylic case I can find is a clear plexiglas case. I mean, those are nice, but for my purposes it simply won't do. I'm looking for a white acrylic case, either thin and opaque (so that when a light shines behind it, it glows) or a translucent white (for the same reason.) I've been looking for a while, and I can't find anything. Any help anyone?

I'm thinking I may have to end up actually fabricating it myself. I may make an entire case like that, or mod a cheap case to simply have the white plexi on both sides. If I could find a pre-fab white plexi case, however, it would be awesome.

Yellow pages should show someone under Plastics who fabricates. My town is small yet we have a shop that deals with PC case parts now and then. They helped me match my entertainment PC to my stereo. They polished edges in 5 minutes that would have taken me hours.

Eh, you might have to grab a clear one and spraypaint it a bit

Never seen one as you've mentioned actually.

you could get a clear one and sand blast it all over to kinda give it the effect your looking for... gives a frosted kinda look
