Cutting a window in my Lian Li Pc-61, need some advice.

Hey everyone,

I went to the hardware store today and bought some 4mm plexi glass. I am goign to cut a square/rectangular window in my lian li. The plan is to cut the square using a jigsaw (started with a drill hole) Then I will cut the plexi, with the jigsaw, about 4 cm bigger than the side panel cut.

Now I have 2 options to mount the plexi, should I use a silicon sealent thing (the big tubes in the gun) or should I drill holes all around and mount the plexi by screwing it on?

Advice is needed ASAP I want to start this

Thanks

Well I used the sealant method and its been about a year now and the seal is breaking.
I wanted to use the screws method but I was too lazy.

Yeh I'm going with the bolts.

Last question, Should I be doing my cutting on the side panel from the outside of the panel or from the inside of the panel? I think inside right? that way any scratches etc. will be on the inside...?

I use this stuff fromFrozen CPU

You cut the window 4mm smaller and pop it in, then fold over the locking strip. You can find it other places as well. It's not as easy as it sounds but looks really clean. You will likely invent some very colorful exclamations for it before your done.
