I am doing a modding project for a case and am making and PSU Shroud, a motherboard plate, a front panel, and a top panel. I was wondering which type of plastic I should use? I have tried Acrylic and it shattered every time I cut the perfect piece. I have used plexi before and I know its pretty good but I need to bend it so I might go with Lexan. What should I do. I am about to go to Lowes in a couple minutes.

Is that a computer or a jet engine? Why not both?

Plexi, But when you use it as a motherboard base you should see that atleast one of the standoffs are grounded to the PSU so your motherboard is grounded.
