Silverstone PS08B side panels?

[Guest]

I've built my first build inside a silverstone PS08B case, and although the side ventilation mesh is nice, it doesn't give much of a view bar some of the graphics card and some of the motherboard. Is there anywhere selling modded perspex or glass sided doors for this case? probably unlikely and shipping costs will most likely be horrendous to new zealand, but just putting it out there.

if it were me I would cut the mesh out with a wheel cutter, sand and paint the edges, and install a cut peice of perspex to the inside with double sided tape.

I have in fact done this before.

I would imagine even having someone do this for you would be cheaper than a new side panel and shipping to NZ.

I don't know about after-market side panels for this particular case (it's not extremely popular so I assume there aren't any.) But now you get to the fun part of PC building, modding your PC. Pick up a rotary tool, a perspex panel, and start measuring and cutting. Also get some sort of bolts to attach the perspex. Easiest way is probably this:
1. measure measure measure.
2. Decide on the size you want the window, and where you want it on the side panel.
3. measure
4. measure
5. measure twice, cut once.
6. Mark where you want the window.
7. cut the cutout for the window on the side panel. Use proper tools and proper safety precautions and remember: measure twice cut once.
8. Mark the Window that you cut out on the perspex panel. I would add an extra 0.5-1 inch on each side to make sure you can attach the perspex to the side panel
9. measure twice, cut once. Measure again and make sure everything is right, then cut the perspex window out.
10. Use whatever form of bolts you found at home depot (and I wouldn't go cheap on this part) to attach the perspex to the side panel.
11. Bask in the glory of your creation.
12. Measure 😀
