What size socket cap screws should I buy for a bolt-on window for my Lian-Li V1100? I'm using 1/8" thick acrylic for the window, and I'm hoping to use Low Profile socket cap screws from McMaster, but I'm unsure of the thread size. Thanks

I'd probably go with a 3/4" with a 10-24 thread. Or even step down to a 5/8".

Before you do buy the bolts, do you know that you count mount the window using strong tape?

Yep, I just like the industrial look. Also being able to cleanly remove the window in the future should be easier with bolts.

I would use some really thin weatherstripping or some other type of soft adhesive-backed foam tape to put between the acrylic and the metal of the case, otherwise you might run into vibration issues and hear a really bad rattle.

I'm using some rubber washers, so hopefully vibration won't be a problem.
