Since your original Acrylic side panel has vents in it, your GPU shouldn't thermal throttle even if they're not totally lined up. 
 
@Mnpctech has a bracket for this kinda thing

This is awesome - nice guide!
I've thought about doing something like this for a while, except the glass on mine really helps reduce noise. How much louder is this with the mesh face?

i miss the days of pc case modding

really hate the "black glass cube" esthetic people go with these days with only the rgb lights trying to give some sort of life to the build.

yeah, something that is out of production for 5 years won't have a lot of bolt-on aftermarket gear in today's tech available.
only company dealing in tj07 is harwood studios/xforma: https://xforma.com/mbx_mkii/ and they really aren't a single thing builder/modder.
 

Hey Gang, This guide was by request, My guide to modifying Fractal Design Define S2 with front Bezel Window, or swap out to Mesh grill... You can use these steps on any flat face bezel design.

Thank you for sharing TVwazhere 
 
ATM I'm editing DIY guide on modifying the S2 front bezel window or mesh grill, as part of S2 build series.
 
 
 
 

@Mnpctech did a nice teardown video. You'll be happy to know that the front panel is fairly modular and you can remove that brushed aluminum panel from the frame. 
 
The fact that the R6 exists and how modular it is makes this feel less interesting. There definitely are key differences, but in the end most users wont notice much of a difference especially with the R6 in the optional position. 

dunna know if this will help: https://mnpctech.com/case-mods-gaming-pc-liquid-modding-custom-computer-mnpctech-overclock-cooling-fan-grills/90-degree-angle-24-pin-atx-connector-for-motherboard-mainboard.html
 

 
@Mnpctech has it available $ 8.99

No progress to share today, but my friend Stu came by to share his Dota 2 PC build. A combination of a scratch build and PC case mod. He used Fractal Design's NODE 304 as the core inside this amazing wood crafted treasure chest,  
 

with lots and lots of machined aluminum parts....haha
 
My apologies for the lack of updates. I've had to start another project build for a client. Paying gigs keep the lights on, so Max will need to temporarily park the Falcon. I may bring it out and share a new update for mental break if time allows. I will be starting a worklog for this new build once the NDA is lifted, I think it will be a real spectacle once it's finished.

Thank you! You're really gonna love new build project I'm starting this fall, it will be similar to shiny, but with real working special F/X. I will share worklog on LTT sometime in November, when the NDA allows me to.

To emulate the rear fuel tanks in the Falcon XB, I'll be using EK-RES X3 150mm reservoirs. btw, these photos are stills from video I'm making of the entire build, once it finished for my YT channel, https://www.youtube.com/user/MonsterMawd
I'm wondering if I can use clips from the movie without audio in my video? no clue...

yes, and I've done many "weathered" themed builds in past here, https://mnpctech.com/mnpctech-case-mod-gallery.html
