Lian-Li PC-A70B side window help

shaffaaf27 · 19 Sep 2008 at 23:27

right so i have bought a Lian-Li PC-A70B and i have a rough indication for a side panel, but now im having second thoughts.

guys i need you help on what to get.

these are the two mockups i have thought of so far, please critisise and give alternatives if you think they are crap.

remember these are paint jobs, so they are rough, no photoshop for me

the orange is obviously the window.

A:

B:

both are rhombus' BUT i am not sure, rounded edges for all corners, only 2, or non e at all or a different shape all together?

IMO later option cuts too close to back edge.

Indeed, go with the first style

first one definately. - might want to lower it a little - no need for a window to look at PSU

Pilky01 · 20 Sep 2008 at 15:02

First one.

MMM cheers guys. ofcourse i would make the window lower, it was a rough shape.

also for B, i was planning on making it smaller. not so close to the edge.

shaffaaf27 · 20 Sep 2008 at 22:43

ok these are the mock ups. which one?

note the PSU will be on the bottom, so i might move it up.

any alterations needed?

You either posted the same image twice or I'm no good at spot the difference

Kelt · 20 Sep 2008 at 23:20

You know, sometimes less is more. Just a nice rectangular shape would do.

shaffaaf27 · 20 Sep 2008 at 23:32

the bottom one has a 10 degrees angle, the top has a 5 degrees.

kelticDaz, yeah i was thinking that, but i like to be different

this is one i did from my old coolermaster case.. just an idea for you

-Exodus- · 21 Sep 2008 at 18:59

neither, keep it a plain square cut as it's more suited to the style of the case

Tetsu · 21 Sep 2008 at 19:23

Agree, keep it classic and clean.

shaffaaf27 · 21 Sep 2008 at 20:23

stop tepmting me to change my ideas

the window WILL be a mirror 2 way window though, dont change my idea on that

EdGey · 21 Sep 2008 at 21:12

well if i had to chose id say the top one (on the second post) but id make it a little taller

Why? So your graphics card can't see you? lol

Pilky01 · 21 Sep 2008 at 21:43

i think the mirror windows look really tacky.
