    Network Upgrade Ideas

    i had seen that, even if the switch is Auto MDI, you can still use a crossover cable correct? so it would just be safer to spend another 3$ and get a crossover cable when i install the switch rather than a cat5e it not working and then having to go find a crossover cable

    Plexiglass

    This isn't a case mod, but a sort of board for my to write on, I dont like using lined paper and have always preferred glass and a grease pen, but at college I figured plexiglass and a grease pen would work better, but I will post pictures of my case.

    Plexiglass

    I was wondering where some of you order plexiglass, I would prefer smoky/tinted acrylic. The local Lowe's doesn't carry the tined, so I was wondering if some knew where to order it online for a fairly decent price. Though I would rather be able to order large sheets, 48" x 96" would be nice...
