Modding a case advice

[George Brown]

Hi, first of all i am building my first PC soon and i would like to make a glass window for the case similar to Linus tech tips.

the case would be a corsair 300R.
any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Get a dremel or a pair of tin-snips, masking tape out the area you want and measure things up. Slowly work your way around the door untill you have your window hole, sand the edges down and cover with "Blow hole trim/U channel blow hole trim"<- google.

Find some perspex sheet to your specs, to fix it to the door you can either use screws but I would prefer the strong double sided tape method(just make sure you have a little extra overhang so it cant be seen). OR you can try and fix it to the door using the uchannel trim but its a PITA

so there you go thats it really, very simple job and you can find easy tutorials on youtube


but corsair have said they might add a solid side window accessory down the line

I've found using a jigsaw with a nice metal blade to be much more handy than my dremel when it comes to cutting windows/holes. Dremel gets dust everywhere and is much more slow than using a jigsaw.
