As the title says -- I'm getting in to a fairly involved mod (building a new casing for my Soyo DYLM24D6) and I'm going to need a good bit of black, frosted, and clear plexiglass/lexan/polycarbonate.
I know I can order this stuff online, but is there anywhere local that you guys regularly get your stuff from? I am in the Aiken, SC / Augusta, GA area, though I doubt this is any help. There's a Home Depot, a Lowes, a Hobby Lobby, and a couple of local glass shops. Might be more, but I can't think of it off-hand.
Will the price premium buying locally make it not worthwhile, or will the cost of shipping offset the local price hike? I know I can get clear, but can I even get black and frosted locally? If so, where?
If buying online makes far more sense, where would you suggest? Prices at www.estreetplastics.com don't seem bad, but unfortunately I'm looking at ~$75 after shipping, which is $20 or so more than I wanted to spend, though I realize I may have to just deal with it.
As of right now, to be safe I think I'm going to need one of all the following:
1/4" or thicker black plexi sheet - 24"x18" or larger
1/8" or thicker black plexi sheet - 24"x18" or larger
1/4" or thicker clear lexan sheet - 24"x18" or larger
1/8" or thicker frosted plexi sheet - 24"x18" or larger
total shipped to me from estreetplastics.com is around $75
Thanks for the help and ideas in advance.
