Art's Hobbies - DIY Acrylic Cases

I find spacers like that at ACE hardware.

hey all, these cases are looking pretty good to me, and i have an Idea as to what I want, but I’ve got a question.
has anyone tried having both art + etching on any area of the case, and how does it look?
that is, inside of case -> plexi -> art -> etched plexi -> outside of case.

The etching is good.

Ok so I’m looking to get one, but I actually like the look of the ver.A more than I do ver.B. Is there any option on Art’s website that lets me get ver.A or can I just buy the extra replacement border and replace the support panel of the ver.B?

I’m pretty sure you can order an extra boarder and use it instead of the supper panel, like you said. I would wait for a more official answer, just giving you hope though ahha

That wouldn’t work properly.
On the A version, the top panel is drilled to hold the screws for the JLF mount. On the B version, the support panel is drilled while the top panel is smooth.
Also, the spacers and screws for the JLF mount are different lengths for the A and B versions.

Ah thanks for the replies guys. I guess I’ll e-mail Art and see if there’s anything that can be done about it.

Take it from this guy… lol… I just figured it would work :stuck_out_tongue: I also like the look of the two boarder pieces, looks nice color scheme wise. However the top support panel is nice, gives it more stability er sumtin ya feel me doe

Yeah I can understand why people would like the extra support that ver.B has to offer, but I probably won’t need it. I press the buttons with little force (a lot of plinking, piano-ing, and double tapping) and I’m not rough on the stick at all, so I’d rather get something that looks nice since I won’t need the extra support.

Will e-mail and see what Art has to say!

Please tell me you also make these out of wood or plastic? i’m allergic to acrylic…

Does anyone know what size the screws are on the bottom of the madcatz te/ tes sticks? The tiny one that hold the panel in place and the larger ones that hold the rubber feet. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hrm. Just placed an order with you and I think I didn’t get charged the right amount, I think your website shorted you. I’ll PM you my order details and we can figure it out.

I have a PS360 in my tech case and wanted to buy the hsb headset pcb. Do I need to drill a certain size hole into the tech case to make a headset port or there an easier way? I’ve never put a headset port in before.

How does one go about requesting that carbon fiber look you showed off in the OP? I want that!

Hey Art, I was kinda curious but how exactly does the mirror purple/light purple look like? or would it be possible if you can put some pictures of each of the colored options on your site? Reason I ask that is because I’ve been thinking about buying one of your cases but I’m just not too sure what colors I want to use due to the lack of visual information. If you would reply that would be most appreciated.

It’s in the FAQ section.

ty for the reply I actually found that out a couple days after I asked that question bleh I feel kinda dumb.

Art, do you make hitbox style panels?

****I went to your site and found the case builder option

hey guys, I know I’ve seen the black opaque acrylic panel somewhere, but I just can’t find it. I want to order an acrylic case, with a black panel on top, everything else clear. I just don’t know what it would look like, and can’t find any pictures. I went through all 19 pages. Are there any other forum threads to look into? Also would a fluorescent red panel on top might be worth looking into? Again, no pictures of these items. There’s a fluorescent green panel on the website though…

Hey, what if i want to add a headset jack on that case. Is there without having to drill the case myself? I plan on using it with a ps360+ headset pcb. Thanks
