Here's a small project I've been working on as of late with assistance from @Robertguy09.
I was inspired by his post here. A huge shoutout to him and his wife for the case labels they made for me.
They are beautiful and very high quality vinyl adhesive.

I used Chemcast Cast Transparent Colored Acrylic cut to 3/16" in Transparent Lt Smoke - 57%. All acrylic was purchased through Tap Plastics, they are excellent.
The standoffs, scews, nuts, washers etc were all pieced together from Amazon.

I know some of you will say you should have rounded corners or polished sides, yeah the price difference will change your mind.

Overall, I am extremely pleased with how they came out and make storage absolutely simple and efficient.

Thank you! Depends on sizing, the larger ones fetched a higher price. Ranged from $15 to about $25 per side. It was around $160 for the lot.

Edit: nope $15- $30 for each set.

These all came out awesome!! I was happy to help out with all the labels! :D

When I get some time this weekend, I have a few more boards I plan to make these cases for too.
 
If you have some time, you can always round the corners slightly with a small file and come back and polish them. Had to do this to at least one of the Highflow ones I purchased since they were like oh well.
 
Got a few more finished up today. Raiden DX now that I have the version with better audio. I finally acquired another SPI motherboard so my Raiden Fighters collection is now complete and shelled. The last is my G-Net motherboard. There really isn't a great way to do this but I'm pretty happy with how it came out. I also threw together some G-Net games that @Robertguy09 made for me.
