- How do I remove and reattach the front transparent panel of my (I previously owned it) segotep K7 case, (It is super glued onto another surface behind it) this is mainly because I don’t want to spray paint parts of this panel.

- I am also trying to give the case a new colour scheme, but how do I sand away old paint in hard to reach places such as my HDD bay, my case fan grates, etc. I’m asking as I want to repaint every surface in my moms case.

- should drill some holes and another grate to add 2 140mm fans on top of my case?

  • If it's glued on, try heating it up to loosen the adhesive using a heat gun, carefully so you dont crack or warp the glass/acrylic.
  • I personally wouldnt worry a crap ton about the little spots you cant get in with sand paper if you're just going to paint over it. I'm not even sure if sanding is neccesary, just a pre coat of primer would probably be fine.
  • Probably not, 2 fans at the front and 1 fan at the rear is enough for most computers

 

I’m trying to make a cheap/good-ish pc for my mom, while making it look as good as humanly possible (My mom wants something that appears better than it is.(of course it also has to function decently and a daily driver or gaming rig.))

 

So my question is.... (there will be pictures for reference 

- How do I remove and reattach the front transparent panel of my (I previously owned it) segotep K7 case, (It is super glued onto another surface behind it) this is mainly because I don’t want to spray paint parts of this panel.

- I am also trying to give the case a new colour scheme, but how do I sand away old paint in hard to reach places such as my HDD bay, my case fan grates, etc. I’m asking as I want to repaint every surface in my moms case.

- should drill some holes and another grate to add 2 140mm fans on top of my case?

 

The case has no PSU shroud, support for only 2 120mm and 1 80mm fan, f all back panel space, no hole for a 8pin cpu cable, support for 1 hdd and 2 ssd and it’s a cheap Chinese case made in China. Why did I get it? Because this was the first case I ever bought and never used due to the reasons above and more.
