Subject: The use of Plexiglas for mounting PCBs
All:
I want to use a sheet of Plexiglas to make a case for my KIM-1.
Fabrication isn't a problem, but I wanted to open it up for discussion about
any static electricity issues. Should I be concerned about using Plexi for
this project or what recommendations do y'all have for mitigating the
possibility of damage.
Thanks.
Rich
You might have trouble with electrical interference from the computer getting out and
affecting other devices. I had that problem with a PC clone I put in a plywood case. It
interfered with an open-frame monitor I had on top of the case until I put metal screening
under the case lid.
