Corsair 400r

[Greg]

Just recently upgraded to this case, but I am somewhat disappointed it doesn't have an acrylic window. Does anyone know of a site (or person) that sells modded side panels with a window?

I had a quick look, and I couldn't find any. Have you ever though about doing it your self? All you really need is a dremel / jigsaw some masking tape, acrylic, u-channel, strong double sided tape and a steady hand. Maybe someone on the forum lives in California and is happy to do it?

Straight from corsair you could get the;

Mesh side panel: http://www.corsair.com/en/carbide-400r-case-left-side-panel-metallic-grey-side-panel-left-with-fan-holes-for-120mm-and-140mm-fans.html

​ Unfortunately they don't do a window version but this would be easier to mod since you will have a guide to where to cut.

You might want to check if you could find a 500r side panel on the internets. According to overclock.net they are interchangeable so it should fit.

I have thought about it, but I am afraid that I would mess up and need to buy a whole new side pannel.

Not really what I was looking for, I already have one of those.

Never knew that, so I could 'pop' out the mesh of the 500r panel and replace it with acrylic?

The 500R window should work fine. If it doesn't you could always get creative! :)

I don't think you are getting my question here lol. I have a side panel, but I would like one with an acrylic window.

You can't buy them from a store. Try to contact a Modding community, maybe there is someone who wants to mod the acryllic into your side panel.

Or do it yourself, it isnt a lot of work if you have the right tools. if you are going to mod it, i will follow this post since i also have a 400R and also have looked into it. I'm to lazy to do it myself :P

If you buy another 400r stock panel from Corsair, you can try it, and if you fail, it will be a loss of a panel

That's what I was planning, but they are like $20, plus the $30+ kit from frozencpu just to see inside my case lol

Allways cut less than you want to cut. Draw the line and give it some room between the line and the cut. You need to veil the cut l it down to the line. T
