Pimps,

I'm trying to find someplace that I can get 1" thick acrylic (give or take). I see the stuff evreywhere at work. Some examples as follows:

- The "elevator inspection certificate" is covered with a 1" stock.

- The fire evacuation plan is encased in this material.

- There is a shelf in the cafeteria made entirely of 1" acrylic.

I checked around and have not seen any of this material for sale. I could go to a plastics shop, but I only want one piece and they'd probably charge me an arm and a leg (or laugh at me and tell me to get the hell out). It wouldn't hurt if I could order it pre-cut, either (my dremel is really tough and evreything, but you know...).
SO... Please dear lord someone tell me they've done this before, because if I see it at work one more time I'll FREAK OUT!

this doesn't help but what do u need 1 inch plexi for? its pretty thick for a window or a case.

Im curious as to why 1" plexi is a need for a rig. The only 2 'sencible ' reasons i came up with are these:

- You wish to build fans into the plexi, thereby makking it a more neater mod form the inside.
-You wish your rig to be almost bullet proof so when a redneck goes and shoots off a shotgun at it, all will remain intact on the window side...apart from the fan.

Or you need it for a non rigging reason, of which I have virtually no intrest.

Just what do u need it for???? did you break that shelf in the cafeteria in anger of not finding any???

They're actually in the same city that I work in...

I'm planning on cutting the plexi on a 45 degree bevel and making a base for my computer. I'm then going to use some source of white light (and glossy powder-coated tin and felt on the very bottom) to make the plexi glow or float, like one of those japaneese cars that people spend so much money on...

I've got a list of other things I'd like to do with 1", but I'll wait untill this project is done before I start planning the next!
