atx/clear case plans/ schematics?

[Mach5]

Search is Dead, and the faq doesnt mention it, but I am thinking of building my own acrylic case and was wondering if there are any links to some sort of plans or rough specs as to where everything should go, sizes, best way of joining the sides and tops, etc. ? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

i remember reading that 1/8" acrylic is failure, use atleast 1/4".
cutting it: use a fine-toothed table saw or circular saw. as many tpi as possible, def. not a ripping blade.
you can join it with adhesive, screws or bolts.
some relevant stuff - but no plans for an ATX case

But yes, 1/8" isnt going to really cut it if you plan on making a completely acrylic case. 1/4" is your best bet

the only problem with the ATX specs from formfactors.org is it does not tell you the correct height and spacing for the PCI/AGP cards. also you need to account for standoff height.
