Replacement side panel with FULL see through window?

I have a Cooler Master Stryker white case. The side panel that is on there does it's job but I would like to buy a side panel that has a full see through window instead of only part of the panel. Can I buy a good replacement side panel? Do they sell them with full windows that go from edge to edge?

It is a standard ATX case full tower so I am guessing anything with those specs would fit fine right? As long as the case grooves on the side panel match up to the frame of the case so it can actually be attached. Are there companies that sell side panels for cases?

Side panel color would have to match though. Any place that sells stuff like this?

Thanks :)
 
No, the only way to do an edge-to-edge window would be tempered glass, and those cases tend to be a bit pricier (the In-Win 808 and 901, for example, are around $160 -- the smaller 303 is $90)

If you want a larger window with your current case, the best way would probably be to cut it yourself and just mount a larger piece of plexi inside. Otherwise you're stuck with the existing window size / layout. There's no such thing as universal / multifit case panel sides, they're too different model to model and manufacturer to manufacturer.
 
Well that sucks. Would be a good little business to create huh? Panels for PCs could be the name. Wouldn't be to hard to get dimensions from case manufacturers. How much would bulk materials cost just to cut the dimensions and add a few holes?

Hmmmmm.....

Anyways thanks.

I don't know about doing multiple projects, but I did a simple cut out window in my Fractal case with a clear plexiglass overlay and in total with the dremel cutting discs was like 20 bux.

Yeah. Sometimes I don't have the greatest of ideas. Though I did want to buy 10k of Netflix stock when the share price was at 3 bucks. Again, not buying the stock wasn't a good idea.

By the way Jay88 is it? I understand you have a job to. Please don't think that I don't appreciate hard working people. I really do. I mean, that is a very good trait to have.

Take care brotha.
