    Not for cheap, no, especially for custom etching. PRE-Etched panels for some designs, ARE available, though.... AND, a LASER does not have to be used on Acrylic, a SCRIBER can be used (hand kind, the electric ones scritch around in unwanted ways easier) to etch.

    Something to consider..

    Acrylic is cheap, a few bucks a sheet at Home Depot or a similar store. Dremels are cheap! You can always print out a pattern, stick it behind a practice acrylic panel, trace the lines with a pencil, and then practice etching for only a little bit of money. The upside is that your design can be unique, and you'll save ridiculous amounts of money when you go to etch the acrylic in your real side panel.

    http://www.thepcmodshop.com/gallery.htm Found this site here, going to have a buddy near there take a look at it for me and i figured it wouldnt be cheap. Id just do it myself but i have the creative talents of a 5 year old, coloring inside the lines takes an abundance of effort on my part. :P
