ok im looking to make some1/4in plexi HHD mounts for a lian li v2000 case im only able to run 6 water cooled hard drives with stock HD placement and i would like to get at least 10 hds in there. im thinging i can make 3 uprights and just tighen up the spacing on the drives. i dont want this mod to look getto. i want it to look like the drives are floating and some time was put in to it.

you are the one with the case, measure the opening, measure a drive, and design a rack. if you were going to fit more drives into there, i would build a rack entirely out of plexi, you could attach the rails for the drive. To bond plexiglass or acrylic together you need a chemical called methelyne chloride. you just put it on the side you want to bond, and hold the 2 pieces together a while. ive seen people use so many bonding agents, and some work, but methelyne chloride is the proper agent. it will make assembling your cage a snap.
 
epoxy worked well for me when bonding plexi. it does take a while to dry but it dries clear and is found at your local hardware store for no more than a couple dollars.
