Hi, I have this case:
I know they sell it on newegg with a side window, but when I bought mine, it came with two fully enclosed side panels (no windows).
My dad has a milling machine that he converted to use CNC a year or so ago. I was just wondering, I would like to cut out a window on the side of my case because my airflow over the 2 years i've had it has gotten worse and worse.
The thing is, I asked him if it's possible, and he said yea, but he said that it would scratch up all the paint while it's cutting. I was just wondering, what would I be able to put around my "window area" that I want to cut out, so the paint doesn't get scratched?
Also, what do you guys do exactly? Do you get a piece of lexan and just cut a piece out and put it on the inside? or do you cut out a piece that fits exactly into the window you just made and then glue it in there or something?
What do you say I should do?
Thanks for your help guys,
Elliott
