Ok I got my acrylic window.... its like 800x800 mm, so its HUGE my garage is full of acrylic debris and not long til someone cuts their foot walking bare inside there cause I had to shape it perfectly to fit inside the side panel.

I ordered wiring loom, UV lights and 2 meters worth of U-Channel edge molding, same edge molding from MNPCtech so it should all be done by Tuesday..... if I had the materials this would have been an hour job or not even but yeah I don't and I have college etc. so its taken about a week now lol.

EDIT: BTW is it possible to superglue the window to the metal case?! I don't have double sided tape rofl

Dont use superglue as it will mess up the acrylic. It leaves stains that normally spread and eats into the acrylic. Learnt this the hard way. Secondly you have to be very careful when you place the acrylic into the side panel, with superglue you have only one chance and if that goes wrong your stuck. I prefer to use 3m double sided industrial tape, as its strong enuf to hold onto the side panel and also can be easily removed with a blunt blade. DONT use superglue under any circumstances. Have some patience and wait for your stuff to arrive.

I'll post the final look on this thread and sorry mav I couldn't resist using the superglue method.

There are a few smudges but hardly noticeable >.< Haha look at "Your PC ATM thread" will be posting pics of current progression there
