Removing scratches from perspex??

Phil2008 · 25 Mar 2008 at 12:59

Ive only had my antec 900 for a week, and the side window is totally covered with light scratches where Ive been cleaning it, Is there some kind of polish that will remove the scratches, I am thinking to get a glass window cut for it, what do you think guys??

Phil2008 · 25 Mar 2008 at 13:09

Or can you get scratch resist perspex?? I idealy need a solid black side but can you get a solid side for the 900??

Thanks guys, might go for a solid side, if the right side will fit on the left,, cos the other cases ive had, the right side wont fit on the left.

Has anyone changed there perspex to glass? Cos I am really thinking of getting some cut to fit it. Are there any downsides with glass apart with that you need to be careful that you dont smash it??

I wouldnt really care how my side window looked, but I must have spent a good 5-6 hours of tidying the inside of my case up, so I want to kind of show off my hard work..lol .... Youve probably seen it in other threads ive posted, but here it is again.lol

I was going to take out the perspex cos its only screwed in, and take it somewhere to get it cut with the screw holes. Cos there a few places by me that you can have glass cut and made to measure. It should only cost me £10 - 20 mum says.

Is there any other material I can get besides glass that wont scratch?

I wasnt going to show you a pic of it cos it looks terrible, I cant believe thats done that just by cleaning the stupud thing, but thats the prob, when you get something new you kind of clean it loads, or I do anyway.

The prob is,, what cloth do use to polish the basso off??? cos surely any contact on the perspex will cause statches,, like i used my fiber optical cloth on mine, and look at the mess it made, but i did use kitchen polyrol once, and that was a big mastake and prob caused most of the scratches

If I do replace it with another sheet of perspex, I need to find a diff way of cleaning it. any ideas? The idea I had was hoovering it, but I guess will be worse cos a brush is worse then a cloth or a fiber optical cloth?

Phil2008 · 28 Mar 2008 at 14:38

I might go down the glass route then, or get a solid black panel from antec as you suggested

It dont look scratched from a distance,, heres my desk layout, How you like the 5.1 speaker setup? Sub in the right corner has nothing todo with the sound system, my shredder just sits on top of it. The logitech z680 sub is in the left corner. As you can sen Ive down away with all the leds on the case, cos its in my bedroom and I sometimes leave the pc on over night and I cant be doing with any lights. Its a pity that the motherboard has lights..dammit.lol

Oh yeah the desk was about £1.50 from a auction.
