Hey there,
I've been thinking about adding a window to the side of my case. Read a few of the tut's on here and I think I'm about ready to have a crack at it. Just wondering tho with all the tut's I've read they mention plexiglas and other such thing. I was just wanting to ask whether there's a differance between plexiglas and perspex?? Thanks in advance...

1. The mechanical properties are the main difference. Plexi-glass is fragile in nature with impact resistance. It tends to crack and chip easily. Lexan can be impacted continously with little or no wear / cracks chips or etc.
2. The cost Lexan is substantially more expensive. 3. If your using these as a temporary or pemanent fix use plexiglass for temporary items and Lexan for permanent repairs. 4. Lexan is commonly used in Industrial Applications while plexi-glass is more of an household item where little or no mechanical properties are required.
