[Guest]

Hello,
how would i go about getting a side panal glass mod?

I'm thinking of the same for my case I'm gonna have a crack at doing mine myself though. It doesn't look too complicated if you're careful about it. Getting hold of the tools would be the trickiest part I guess but luckily where I work most are readily available.

Check out this video for a very good tutorial:

This guy is good. If you don't fancy having a crack yourself I think they will do it for you. Not sure how much though. There are also plenty of other good modding tutorials there if you want to have a look at some more

I'm just going to post here because I'm considering the same thing with my 300. Of course, I would do it myself. I'm in no hurry though. I'm thinking adhering a sheet of clear, thin Plexiglas after cutting out part of the side panel. But my concern is the exposed edges of the metal being silver and not looking very nice.

enzo - Use black channel molding around the edges. There are some types that are specially made for plexiglas windows.

Here is a link to a Tom's Hardware thread posted by monstermawd that includes a video clip and photos showing how to make a window for an Antec 300 case:

I sometimes do case mods. I get plexiglas panels at local hobby shops. They are a lot less expensive than the panels at online vendors.
