• In Need of a Side Window
    15 replies, posted
Does anyone know a site or store that sells side window panels for ATX mid-tower cases. I need it seperately, as in not with a case, just by itself. I'm in Canada by the way, prices don't matter, obviously, since it would cost like 15$ max.
Plexiglas + jigsaw + Dremel.
Nah dude, you remember my last thread about this huh? I weighed the costs of buying the plexi and buying a new cutting wheel for my dremel, against the cost of most side windows that I saw on sites (which don't deliver here), and buying one is cheaper (even with S&H). It's really the cutting wheel that does me over.
Use a jigsaw to cut it and a Dremel to do the more detailed shit. The chances of you finding some panel to fit that case are low.
Well what case do you have?

They look like rectangles with lines coming out of them (along the top and bottom of the open side) [img]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e136/burn-yae/Computer/Components2.jpg?t=1247265238[/img] edit: yes, whoever designed this thing obviously though that people would want six 2.5 inch bays.. :raise:
So you don't know what the actual name of your case is then? There typically aren't universal case doors so theres a bit of a problem to begin with. I know you don't want to make the door yourself but I think you're gonna have to if you REALLY want the door with a window.
Damn, well I'll keep looking, and see if I can find a cheaper retailer of dremel cutting heads, they cost like 40$.. :bang:
Leave the side panel off.
[QUOTE=compwhizii;15970584]Leave the side panel off.[/QUOTE] This.
Leaving the side panel off destroys how the air is designed to flow like though. Unless you have either bad fans pulling air in and out or a huge box fan blowing the computer down with the panel off you'll most likely just get worse temps. Plus all the dust and such that gets in there.
I hope OP doesn't mind me posting this. [QUOTE=MachoManRandySavage]Fuck buying one, this seems way more badass. Just need to remove some excess epoxy, get a fan cover and touch up the paint on the edges and itt'l be looking pretty sexy.

[QUOTE=Prismatex;15992201]I hope OP doesn't mind me posting this.[/QUOTE] so he done the mod himself afterall?
Yeah, he sent me a PM about it. I'd say it looks pretty good.
