Its custom,I used a dremel to cut it out.

I go back to school tomorrow so i prolly wont be touching the case for a while but today me and my dad were discussing how we want to make the window. When i did it the first time i just used some plexi and some u channel to cover the metals edge and double sided tape to hold the plexi, but i had to drill the holes out bigger for the panels thumb screws to go on. My dad wants to do it the "right way" this time (according to him lol) and use H channel or a locking strip from FrozenCPU to hold he plexi in with the whole side panel sitting flush.

We were also discussing even using plexi this time or just using modders mesh for it since im going to mount the 2 big 230mm fans on the side anyways, but i have no idea if that's too much of an opening to screw up the cases air flow.

Thoughts?

i am putting a perspex/plexi uv red shelf in my rig to cover psu/ssd/pumps there will be 2 or 3 passthroughs for the tubing...any ideas on shaping it? im thinking of having it coming from the board all the way out to the window and then curving down to the base of the case and some light uv lighting underneath? any ideas would be helpful

Protects the GPUs (both from a minor leak if it happens, and from static if I touch it), looks nice, and fits the theme.

It also keeps the temps down on your GPUs

Good idea except those 230s' really suck in the Dust. So you'll have to figure out some way of filtering the dust that doesn't conflict with the look of the case. Of course you could do modders mesh over plexi to give the plexi some stiffness and keep the dust intake to a minimum and get a couple DMCiFlex Filters to stick to the mesh. Makes maintenance much easier this way and limits the amount of dust in the case. thumb.gif

Hmm you just got my mind creating different combos of these ideas. I do agree with you about the dust i didn't even think about that, i think what i might do is do the plexi and figure out if i wanna put the mesh over the whole piece or jsut cut out the circles and press the mesh in with the dust filters.

Mnpctech also has some acrylic fan grills that i really like so i might even take a piece of plexi for the window cut the holes out and sandwitch the dust filters between the fan grill and plexi.

I am planning to go watercooling tho so now im wondering if i would even need those 2 big fans, they just move a great amount of air i figured it would be a sin not to use them lol.

All i have to say is this:

If you are 100% sure that you want to water cool your rig-FORGET ABOUT THE SIDE FANS-they will serve no purpose, apart from sucking in dust as Ceader said earlier.

Secondly, sit down with your Dad and plan your plexi window for your side panel, when finished, you will be able to show off your rigs innards and all your hard work.

(Make sure that the plexi is sturdy enough so that it provides support to the side panel, dont get thin plexi cause it may be prone to cracking whenever you remove your side panel)

My wife's 922 came with a side panel with a 200mm fan, i promptly boxed that in the store room, and installed a new side panel with a huge plexi glass window.

Whenever we eventually sell the case, the original side door will be sold along with the case as it is now.

As for your fans, store them for a rainy day, or in case you decide to ever get a 200mm radiator, or simply sell them thumb.gif
