well i figure its time to fix up my ole white computer case, ill clean off all the stains from the spilled drinks and what not.  its pretty much a pure white, i figured i was going to add an acrylic window to the one side.  well heres the thing, should i just use spraypaint and possibly put some clear coats on it to make it shine up, or should i keep it dull.  also which paint should i use, and what color..etc.  lol i asked my clanmates for RvS last night and one said hot pink, so i figure i would paint it hot pink and find a blue tinted clear window and put it on.  spice it up with a little **edited** ness.

Try a local plastic distributor. Check your yellow pages. Sometimes you can get good deals from their scrap bins. I'm sure that you can buy clear plexiglass and then use Rit Dye and dye it.

i dont think you want plexiglass since it scratches easily.but it is shatter proof. acrylic is good but i think you have to drill slowly into it.

That's true..acrylic (plexiglass) scratchs quite easily, but is easier to work with than glass. Drilling speed doesn't really matter, but when cutting it you have to go pretty slow, or else it will melt together. a hacksaw or utility knife will fix this.
