Cheapo mods/side window?

[IKnight]

Hey all. Kinda up for modding my case as it’s bone stock and boring now.

Firstly, what are some cheap mods that could make the case look 'better'? (the less tools/money I have to use the better )

Secondly, can the RAM (covers? Idk what they are called) be repainted, and if so suggestions on paint and stuff? (Also thinking about repainting part of the GPU since it’s freaking red, whilst my mobo, SSD, side cables are all blue).

And thirdly, since my case comes with no side window, what’s the best way to go about putting one in? I’m thinking of just swapping out the whole side panel with a piece of plexi-glass or clear plastic.

Yes you can repaint your RAM heatpsreaders, it's best to take it off for painting if possible or mask it very well, same for the GPU shroud, taking it off is best for painting and prep. 

 

If you interested I have a guide on all of this including a Window Mod under the Modding FAQ:

I'd look at the Define R5 window since its a similar case and cut it like that. Making a plexi or acrylic panel that would replace the metal side panel is really hard... 

For the heatspreaders on the RAM, Take a hairdryer, turn the heat up, and pry off the heat spreaders then paint.

For the GPU, disassemble it so you just have the shroud, then mask off the parts you don't want to paint.
