Random Question... Tempered glass panel for a S340?

[evyosh]

Hi peps,
This is just a random question. i have a NZXT s340 case and was thinking can i replace my side panel with a S340 Elite tempered glass side panel.? is this possible? anyone?

If you mod your case, then: Yes. Else-ways: No.

What you're missing is the 4 standoffs where TG side panel sits.
S340 Elite:

S340 doesn't have those 4 standoffs nor the place where put them. In order to have TG side panel, you need to drill those holes and add standoffs.
S340:

awesome but this is possible right. do you know where i can get these standoffs?

Your best bet is to contact NZXT and ask if they can provide you some. Or you can buy custom ones, once your TG side panel arrives and you've measured the standoff holes and know their diameter.

Though, rather than going through all that case modding hassle, i'd buy a new case. It may end up cheaper and can be less time consuming (minus time time to swap the system around).

It's usually cheaper to buy a new case with the glass included. Those companies get big discounts for bulk orders, and some of it is actually passed on, especially during sales etc. To buy the side panel separately, or have your own glass custom ground is often more than a new case is worth. I was thinking about customizing my FD R5 with a full glass tinted panel, cost for a piece that size with custom drilled holes, $190.(its tempered glass, unless you are perfect and have the right tools for the job, it's not worth cracking the glass to drill that close to the edge)
