How to fix a dent on my PC case

[_Bata_]

I moved some time ago and my pc case got damaged, you can see the dent on these images. Sorry for the bad quality. It's that little spot between the acrylic and the metal at the middle of the side panel:

Wanted to know if there was a way to fix it, thanks!
If it helps, my case is the Corsair 100R, the material is steel (The seller's warranty doesn't apply in these situations so refound or product change is not an option.

Basically Hot then Cold, and it should pop out. Just be careful not to melt your Acrylic panel 😛

I'd take that whole side panel off (obviously) and if it is possible to remove the acrylic panel, maybe do that.
I know that video says to use a Heat Gun, but since your likely don't have one, hot/almost boiling water would work, hair dryer probably would do the trick as well.
The idea is do use the rapid contraction from going hot to cold, to snap the dent out.

I'll try that out, thank you again! But why the worries about the acrylic panel?

Can warp and melt if heated too much...don't want you to fix the dent and then end up with a distortion in the side panel 😉

Alright, i'll try covering the acrylic with newspaper or something and then using the hair dryer on the dent area, i'll come back with the results.
