Finally made of 6mm plexiglass and 1mm aluminium plate a fixer. The stainless-steel chase, also cable channel for a 8-pin VGA power. Handmade so successfully drilled. I had to buy a special HDMI-cable because the space is tight. It will be good! After installing the VGA, I edited "fan-grille" to a plexi sidepanel. I cutted with a jigsaw, then with a drill stand, I formed the edges with milling cutter. After followed the hand sanding. I cutted the place for a led strip with a 3mm milling cutter. After I make for it cover element. The carving of the plexiside is not over yet! Further work will in this part, which you hopefully read in next post. Thanks for you interest!
