So from this thread: http://www.overclock.net/t/1250460/need-some-help-ideas
you can get an idea that my "mod" wasn't going to a typical cut a hole, slap the glass and you're good to go.
The first problem was the heatsink tips sticking out:
Then there was the issue of the non-flat surface of the side panel not to mention having to place an additional hole of some sort on the top right to allow a proper exhaust (and/or intake depending on testing).
first cutting steps led to this, but needed some minor mods
so I figured something like this would do
All in all...here is what I ended up with
A bit messy, but was too exhausted after cleaning up the mess of acrylic and the 3M tape, etc...
Was my first time using a dremel and the acrylic bit...so I think it was not too shabby for starters.
Thanks for looking!
