  2. Is 1/2" acrylic an appropriate to use for a sign panel?

    I would use 1/4" ACM with 1/2" pvc routed letters OR cut acrylic letters. I dont like acrylic outside but think it would be fine for this lettering. I would paint ACM with latex and silicone the lettering to it. You wont have any issues, also do not allow this sign to swing.

    Dell XPS systems are kick ass. Get on ebay and buy a used one with windows 7 on it. All I buy is used computers and I have had great luck. This XPS can run illy, flexi and internet, streaming radio with no issues. Its all you need and it fairly reasonable. Im still running an i5 intel on an XPS...
