Anyone have a complete plexi-glass side to their case?

I am looking to re-alter my case. Currrently I have a window cut in the dies of my case, but I was interested in removing the side of the case and constructing a complete side out of plexi-glass. Have any of you guys done this to your case? I need some instructions as how to attach the plex-glass to the fram of the case and also have it fit tight enough so it doesn't leek any sound or change the air flow in the case. Thanks for your help.
 
Yes. One case is now defunct. The second case is still in use. It is a cheap generic case. The chassis was painted black with a gloss coat, to make everything stand out better. One sheet of plexiglass was cut to the size of the side panel. Small holes were drilled in the corner areas of the plexiglass, with matching holes in the case. Normal screws were used to hold it on. Works just fine, except we accidentally chipped the corners of the plexiglass (whoops, heh). The plexiglass side works just like the original, except for no patterns of holes that the original side had. I don't know about sound, but would hazard a guess about it lessening the sound because I think plastic is more "dead" than metal for transferring sound waves. LMK if you want pics.
