I am concidering using Diamond Plating metal on the Front of my case for my next mod. I know all places are different but any estimates on how much this would cost? Either at Home Depot or a Metal Shop?
It's spendy but for that small of a piece I can't imagine it'd be more than $20............IMHO it looks terrible on the front of a case...and its hard to line up a cdrom tray if you're cutting them out.
I know where there is a scap metal yard and they sell damaged AL diamond plate by the pound (which is pretty cheap IIRC). Try a place like that if you can find one in your area.
