Making Computer Cases out of Plexiglass?

antis0c asks: "After reading many stories on Slashdot about building custom PC cases, I'm highly interested in building one myself. The only problem - I have absolutely no experience working with PlexiGlass/Acrylic/Lexan, basically any plastic type materials. I'd like to learn the basics, cutting, adhesives, special tools, all the skills required to build a PC case out of this stuff. A quick Google search left nothing really good on it, and I can't even find any books on Amazon on the topic. I hoping some Slashdotters might have some insight on good books on the topic, sites, or perhaps just information."

If you don't know how to build a case with proper RF shielding, don't do it. If your computer causes interference to legitimate users of the RF spectrum, you can be ordered not to use it.
How would you like it if every motorist in your neighborhood removed the muffler and pollution controls from their cars, because it looked kewl?
