Anyone know where to get a windowed side panel for a Stacker 830?
 
www.performance-pcs.com

u have to send them ur panel though and they mod it for u ..

u can either get just a window .. or a window with 2x120s in it

yeah that's the only option I found myself, but it's $79

I've seen pics of the Nvidia branded 830 and they have windowed side panels so I was hoping there is another option
 
If you want to be able to see your components, you'd have to remove the door that has the four fan mounts on it. If you don't plan on installing fans there that's fine, but you should install fans in my opinion. The cooling this case provides is it's best feature.

Alternatively, if you do pull the fan door out, you can just light up the interior and you'll be able to see your components through the grill on the side of the machine. A window that actually looks good with this case is hard to do. The way the side panels are shaped is one problem, the other is that it would look funny with one raised grill side, and one flat transparent side.
 
Where do you find the nvidia edition with window side panels?
As far as I know, they come with light green mesh side panels.

I saw some somewhere, but you're right that the normal case comes with mesh so I guess it was a mod
wish CM would release a windowed panel

me too! that was the deciding factor foe me, so I got an Armor instead. The Nvidia 830 with the green looks freakin sweet though,,,,but ya, an 830 with a window would be l33t!
 
Shouldn't be too difficult making a window for it. Not really worth spending $80 but I can't blame PPCS for pricing it that way.

I say just spend a little time on it yourself. Run to tap plastics and find some nicely colored acrylic.

Man there is no way I'd take an Armor case even for free. Those useless flaps on the front are a deal breaker for me.
 
That "Useless" door makes it look cool!

Additionally, if you dislike it, you can always remove it :D
 
btw, if you want to mod, but do it with stuff the manufacturer
provides, always go for Lian-Li cases.

A bit more expensive, but whole lot better :D
I use a CMStacker 830, personally, only bought it cuz
I couldn't afford a full tower Lian Li :p
