In this video I show you how to make your own custom PC base plate or shroud out of perspex/plexiglass/acrylic using a Dremel and heat gun and a little bit of patience.

Honestly I thought this might be a disaster but the result was fantastic, so here's the video.

This video also details how to bend the material using just a heat gun and a hard edged table. No Line Bending machine required.
