making my own case question

here is my plan.... over the next year or so i want to make my own computer case and hook it up to the wall... ive made some plans and i would just like to no what sort of materials i should use to make it... i was thinking about plexi glass (what ever its called) for the window and some sort of strong cheap metal for the main casing...

also what type of places would sell this sort of equipment??

unless you've worked with power tools and raw materials before I would consider putting off a project like this before you gain the experience and skills you need. start with little jobs, get some practice cutting metal and acryllic, grinding, etc. and work upwards.

ok, then I'd suggest searching for some "build your own PC case" guides" and, since you won't be starting this project for a little while, start reading I'm sure you'd be able to buy some aluminum sheet metal quite cheap somewhere in your area.
