Finding supplies
Okay so now that you have watched the video you are probably wanting to know where you can get the plexiglass as well as the cutting tool. The cutting tool currently runs around 4-5 bucks and can be found here at lowes.com The plexiglass itself can also be found at lowes and is usually available in most stores. You will want to purchase a sheet that is labeled as being 0.08-inches thick. Anything thicker will be too thick and will probably prevent the case from fitting together properly. The 0.08 thick sheets come in many widths and heights, I would suggest getting the 18inX24in at least because the smaller sizes might not have enough to install these original Xbox plexiglass windows. Lastly, at this point it may seem a little much to get all these materials and tools and parts for one case mod. Many of our viewers have expressed exactly that. So what do you do if you decide you might not be able to do this yourself?
