False Panel Materials

[Roscoe]

I think for my new corsair 450D build I am going to add some false panels to make the inside look a bit better, but an unsure as to the best materials to use to make the best use of both money with a lack of a sheer for metal. I will be coating the panels in a carbon vinyl so the look is not hugely important.

 

Any suggestions are much appreciated cheers

What?

I will be taking out the hard drive cages and possibly watercooling the build so am looking at adding panels to cover the holes on the inside of the case this will make. Its purely an aesthetic thing. But not sure what material (i.e aluminium plate etc.) gives the best price to point

The easiest material to work with quickly is probably aluminium since it will be easy to bend and shape the material and cut using metal shears, other than that plexiglass/acrylic is also a good material to work with due to it's high rigidity and is fairly easy at cutting.

If you really want to get ghetto and as cheap as possible you could always use some nice solid cardboard, if you are going to vinyl wrap it anyway who's going to know?

Most common would probably be acrylic/plexi

Thin wood if you can't accept cardboard
