Ok, so I wanted to cut out a window on my side panel and cover it with some plexi glass so I can see inside my case. Is there anyway to go about doing this and getting the plexi glass to look somewhat flush with the panel instead of recessed a bit. Also if anyone knows of some designs that look cool instead the plain old square plexi glass panel. Not too intricate though.

there are 2 things that I can think of.
you could use some edge grip seal; search mcmaster.com (can't direct link due to the way their site is set up )the other alternative would be to recess the perimeter of the window cutout into the edge of the acrylic panel (depth of cut being the thickness of the panel)

Recessing - I believe it's also called chamfering - is your best bet. If the recess is about 3cm you can then use double sided tape or normal tape to hold the window in place

a chamfer is a bevel between 2 perpendicular surfaces
