    Where can I get a clear plastic faceplate for a old 3.5 inch HDD?


    OK, this is a strange request...

    I have an old 3.5 HDD and I would like to remove the metal cover from it and replace with a clear plastic, high quality cover.
    It would be for a disk display and the HDD would not be functional, lol.

    Anyone know of a source for this?
    I've seen it before - years ago.

    TIA

    Most building trade / do-it-yourself suppliers will stock plain, transparent sheets of Perspex & non-branded forms of 'acrylic glass' / 'acrylic sheet'.

    Acrylic sheets can be cut, sawn, drilled & sanded so you can make the end result as good-looking as you like.

    Yes, true. However, I remember them being ready-to-go.

    Have to do some more research.

    Thanks anyway.
