A step-by-step guide to mounting, lighting, and cleaning the 25th Anniversary Platelight acrylic so your OSRS collectible stays sharp inside your PC.
Quick answer
Mount the 25th Anniversary Platelight in a spot where your Platelight's light hits the acrylic evenly, then clean it only with a soft dry cloth. Skip harsh cleaners and tight screws so the art stays clear and the panel doesn't crack.
Why placement matters more than you think
The acrylic panel is designed to diffuse light from a Platelight, so the backlight is what makes the art glow. If you mount it too far from the light source or at a steep angle, the image will look dim or uneven. Test the position before you commit to screws or adhesive.
Also check clearance around your case's airflow. A panel that blocks a fan or sits against a hot component can warp over time, and acrylic is more vulnerable to heat than metal or glass.
Handle the edges, not the face
Acrylic edges are the most fragile part of the panel. When you unpack or move it, hold the panel by the edges with clean hands or wear nitrile gloves. Avoid pressing on the printed face, because oils and pressure can leave marks or micro-scratches that show up when lit.
If you need to set it down during installation, place it face-up on a soft, clean cloth. Never rest it face-down on a hard surface.
Step-by-step: mount, light, and care for your Platelight
- Test-fit before you fasten: Hold the panel in your intended spot with the Platelight powered on. Check that the whole image is evenly lit and that the panel doesn't block fans or touch hot components. Common mistake: drilling or sticking first and discovering the glare or clearance is wrong. Mark the final position with painter's tape before making any permanent holes.
- Mount with gentle pressure: Use the mounting method your case supports, such as standoffs or removable adhesive. Tighten screws only until the panel is snug; over-tightening can crack acrylic. If using adhesive, press lightly and let it cure fully before letting go. Check for wobble after mounting; a loose panel can scratch against the case.
- Clean with a dry, soft cloth: Dust the acrylic weekly with a microfiber cloth. For fingerprints, breathe lightly on the spot and wipe gently, or use a tiny amount of distilled water on the cloth, never directly on the panel. Avoid alcohol, ammonia, and paper towels. If a mark won't lift with a dry cloth, stop and check the care guidance rather than scrubbing.
- Keep heat and sunlight away: Acrylic can warp or yellow with prolonged heat or direct sun. Make sure the panel isn't sitting in a hot spot inside the case, and don't display it near a window if you remove it. Common mistake: placing it right above a GPU exhaust. After a month, check for any bowing or discoloration and reposition if needed.
- Store safely when not in use: If you swap the panel out, store it face-up in its original sleeve or between two sheets of clean foam. Don't stack heavy items on top. This keeps the acrylic flat and scratch-free for the next setup. Label the storage sleeve so you don't accidentally place something heavy on it.
