Can anyone tell me what to use as trim for my cutom window ?
The window is screwed to the inside of the side of my case. When i cut the hole, i slipped a few times and gashed the first 2 centimetres of the case! PLZ HLP! |
http://www.techwarelabs.com/communit...pic.php?t=1939 I used brass trim from a hardware store in this mod. Then I put allen head bolts throught the case and the trim. Some of the bolts have retaining clips that help hold the glass in place.

Automobile door edge trim, it makes great molding an it is very cheap. The door edge molding has glue inside the C and is easy to cut. I have bought it in black and chrome from wal-mart for windows.

or you know those
yellow and black slainted stripes label meaning "Danger" those look nice |
Well what color is the case itself. For me, I would go with a metallic blue affect around the outer windows....just get like any type of liner metal (used on cars, for an outline affect to stand out, and found in lots of places), heat it up and shape it, and when u get your shape (preferably in your circumstance, around the glass) tape the glass up and cover it, and paint the metal.

On my first window I used car door molding. You can get it at your local car care shop (ie PEP Boys, Napa...). If might not cover a 2 cm scratch though.

Window Trim
The problem is that I wasn't thinking when I designed the window and it has a sharp angle around the handle. it is hard to bend anything around it without it looking horrible. i was sort of hoping for black trim |
Thanks anyway

heres just an idea for you what the window would look like with this trim imagine the sign as the window... |
Eviltechie, your last image is not showing up. However, I was sort of looking for something more professional looking then tape Thanx tho |
As soon as i get time, ill post an image of my window so u can see. |
here
i guess the server for that image went down anyways its not just tape its a type of trim also and if done professionaly, it looks better than anything else |
 i think they fixed the server |
Pic of case
Here is an old pic of the case. Yeah, I know the pic stinks but for now it's all I have. Like I said, this is an old pic. The window is now mounted with screws, but I still have not painted tho. thx http://www21.brinkster.com/coolcase/oldindex.htm |
the orientation is a little weird but i get it
i see where the cut is top of the window which means right side of the case right? hey did u paint the PSU? looks nice you should add some black stripes however... LOL!! :rofl: j/k :P |
Started a site for the case, but it probably won't be done for a while :/ . www21.brinkster.com/coolcase |
:/ I cut my case window using a grinder with a cutting blade. It was nicely done. no scratches...but if ever a scratch would happen, I would paint the whole damn case again b4 I fit the plexiglass.
