Support bracket...

I had wanted a PSU support bracket from the beginning to help alleviate a lot of the stress on the Perspex at the rear of the case.

I drilled some 6mm holes on the top of the case (after careful measuring) and using some thick acrylic tube (cut with a hacksaw), I drilled some matching holes and fixed with 6mm x 120mm long socket head cap screws. The tube sits under the front edge of the PSU and supports it very well.

A closer look at the bracket. I later used a buffing wheel to polish these up and filed/sanded/polished the ends of the tube. The bolts will have any excess length trimmed off later. With most of the bolt having no thread, they polished up great!

Looks awesome when lit and sits in place with it's support bracket (complete with temporary wing-nuts).

The top panel shines up nicely, even in full daylight.
