Default ANTEC 1200 side panel ideas
i want to put a new side panel on my antec 1200, i know not exactly a huge case mod but a still a case mod lol i want to get rid of all the stuff on the side and put one big clear sheet of lexan so u can see everything clearly except for the three front enclosure things (so u cant see the hdd and cd drives and what not) im thinking about putting some sort of fan(s) on the side to keep plenty of air going to pci x slots, how should i go about putting the lexan on? just cut the little steel lip and mount it inside the panel? im open to suggestions, this is really just a rough idea

You might want to look into this.

Side note: Does any one know if Antec sells OEM parts for their cases like Cooler Master does?

Yeah, I know you can get their fans and stuff, but I'm wondering about like side panels, drive bays, and case parts and what not, kinda like Cooler Master does. Anyways, good luck with the mod twich

update: definately going to mod my side panel, going to put a/some fan(s) on the side, going to make some sort of design (not using stickers, way too lame for an antec 1200 lol) anyone know if u can get the same mesh used on the side of the antec 1200 but in like a sheet (about the size of the side panel)

I actually emailed Antec last week about getting a left side panel with no window, to do a custom window mod, but I have yet to get a response.

There's no spare or after market side panel for the antec 1200. If you need a new side panel you have to send them your case and they send you a new case. So basically its all or nothing.
Good luck!
