I am looking to get the front panel of my SilverStone LC-02 precision cut (waterjet or something similar) Here is the back of front panel:
It is nicely polished aluminum, about 4mm thick.
I purchased a Crystal Fontz 633 LCD (2x16 w/buttons) that I would like to fit in the front panel, but my dremel skills are not good enough to make it look good, and I wanted to have it cut very professional looking since this case will become my primary HTPC. There would need to be 7 small holes cut into the aluminum.
I randomly stopped by a local machine shop, and they told me they could laser cut it for around $125 (I would provide a CAD file). Is this outragously over priced?
I really have no idea, and would appreciate some advice from some fellow [H] modders out there. Thanks!
