Can i paint the slightly ugly clear side panel on my 'Tec 900, its starting to get boring, and i wanted the 'clear' to be black, solid black, with the mesh showing and a black fan......stealth like.....

what paint would i need to do the side window?

Just read an email in another thread from someone wanting a 900 panel on a 300

Great news just got a reply from antec which reads

Hello ******

The panel from a 900 is the same size as the 300 side panel. You can contact [email protected] to purchase a panel.

So that means the 300 panel must fit the 900, so you can purchase a black panel from antec.

when it reopens. i am pretty sure you can pick up a spare "plain" side panel for the antec 900.

I think you would have to roughen up the perspex for it to actually take the paint. Either that or how about just a bit of black card on the opposite side of the window? Temporary and should look ok with the window giving it a glossy finish.

And the 900 Right hand side plain panel actually fits on the other side. You can buy the replacements from Antec.

Get a tin of plastic primer from halfords, lightly sand the perspex to allow the paint to adhere better. Then finish it off with a couple of coats of black spray paint.

Would depend on wether you want a shiny gloss finish or if you prefer a duller matt, ideally id try to match it to the rest of the case.

looking at various pics of the antec 900, the above paint would seem to be ideal to match the finish on the panel.
