I need some links to sites that sell Cooler Master Windows and possibly other accessories. I've decided to go with the black CM Praetorian instead of the Lian-Li PC-65B and i'm going to need a window for it.
 
C'mon, be [H] and make your own. If you really don't wanna, I'm sure you can find someone on here who's willing to custom cut one for you.
 
um i think sundial micro and directron are the few that come to my mind
i'll post some more when i think of it, my friend ordered a side panel for his praterion, it looks awsome.

I'm not very [H]ard when it comes to cutting up my case lol. I dont have any interest in the area of being "original" and i know i'd end up cutting up my side panel like a mother and not being satisfied with it at all. I dont have the dremel tools to do that stuff ither.

I think i'll just stick with simple pre-mods myself :).
 
frozencpu.com sells CM windows, but they're not cheap. I got my side window for my Wavemaster from newegg for $25 or so.

I checked both of those sites and couldn't find a black side panel w/ clear window for the CM Praetorian :(.

I have the greenish/clear side window. The only time you see the green hue is when it's against the panel itself, otherwise it's crystal clear.

That one is listed as having a "clear window" but its actually the one with the light green tint isn't it? It sorta looks that way in the second pic anyways.

I just want something that looks clear like the Praetorian windows i see in this thread:

That window is sort of modded, I bought the premade side panel with the greenish tint window. I then went to my local hardware store and bought a piece of clear plexi, cut it and mounted it on the inside. I think it looks a lot better this way.

My case:

What did you use to secure the plexi? Doesn't look like the screws that came with the side panel.
 
Actually they are the same screws, I removed the screws to remove the greenish window, and reinstalled the screws into the side panel. I then laid the greenish window on the clear plexi panel and drilled out all the mounting holes (so the window sits flush against the side panel), then I used 3M double sided tape between all the mounting holes.
 
I dont know why Cooler Master didn't just use regular clear plexi instead of this ghey green and blue tinted crap.

Are there any online stores that will do a custom window for me? I'd like them to just take the green tinted window out and mount me a new clear plexi window on the inside of the panel.
 
its not that hard at all. i mean just cut a piece clear plexi-glass, get some screws you like, and put in on. i guess if you really wanted too someone could do it, heck i could do it for you, but i will be out of town all this week, i imagine someone else would for the right price. gl, also the "ghey green tint" actually makes it look like glass, smoother and cleaner. it looks very, very nice, i have and i like it a lot. so i would reccommend it.
 
I'm gonna try out the green tinted window and see if i want to change the window to clear plexi or not, and if i decide to do so, what tool(s) will i need to cut the plexi to fit along with the screw holes?

Would i just lay the old green tinted plexi on top of the new clear plexi and cut around?

Anyone have any nOOb guides for plexi cutting? lol
