Coolmaster mod, Can it be done

ste-sim2x9 · 4 Apr 2009 at 10:37

I have a coolmaster sniper and i love this case except for one thing, the mesh side as shown in this pic. It lets a lot of fan noise out of the pc plus i like seeing into my pc from the side.

I was wondering if anyone has ever took this mesh out and put some perspex in, I was thinking of taking the mesh off and cutting the metal stripsoff from behind the mesh. Any input on if it could be done or anyone who has done this mod before.

i suppose you can do anything with a case as long as you have the right tools and skills.

so the mesh unclips from the recess. so maybe you could drill some holes in the framework on the left like on the right and fasten the recessed perspex on using the hole that way.

Yes the mesh can be unclipped from the recess but the recess is not very deep. I'm just thinking if i should cut the metal bars away too.

Just glue it

This is a pic without the mesh.

Well it would probably be best to use a dremel or something and cut out a nice big plain window rather than having those little squares i guess. Is it steel or aluminuim or what?

Its Steel i think.

Personally I'd just glue the perspex onto the bars. If you want as much of a window as possible though, it should hold up pretty well, being steel.

Yea, glue would be a good option. Saves cutting the side panel! Nice case too.
