Removing drive cage frame on nzxt 450 noctis. Is it possible?

[Alberto376]

hello as the tittle says im so close to buy this case but i didnt see in any video if removing that part of the case is possible or not since im planning to build a custom pannel to show all interior and make a custom loop for liquid cooling and i dont need the drive frame.

Anyone knows if this is possible without cutting anything?

Thanks in advance for the replies.

Also if anyone know a nice case with tempered glass different looks and nice for custom loops please tell me the name of thatone.

Again thanks.

Notics 450 doesn't come with tempered glass side panel. Instead, it has acrylic side window on it's side.

As far as HDD cage frame goes, it's part of the structural integrity and it's riveted in place. If you remove it, you risk collapsing the entire case.

Full sized acrylic side panel cases,
Mid-tower ATX: Corsair 400C, Corsair Air 740
Full-tower ATX: Corsair 600C, Corsair 760T (my Skylake build sits in it, full specs with pics in my sig)

Tempered glass side panel cases,
Mid-tower ATX: InWin 101, InWin 303, InWin 303C, InWin 805, InWin 805 Infinity, DIYPC DIY-G5-BK, Rosewill Cullinan, NZXT S340 Elite, Corsair 460X, Corsair 570X, Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ATX Tempered Glass
Full-tower ATX: InWin 909, Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Tempered Glass, Thermaltake Core X71 Tempered Glass

I take that you know how to use Google and look all those case specs up by yourself.
