new side window for my old case

[orze]

so i have a pretty old discontinued case from raidmax named "agusta"

i love this case because of its vary old look. and almost auto-bot feeling and it with abit of modding fitted a 360mm AIO that holds my 1920x at a nice 75c under pressure. so all is well.

 

1 thing i hated was the side is mostly closed but the whole for the fan and i decided to make a window my self.

so here are the results.

got a black tinted acrylic i think its called cut it to the right shape so i can still put my fan and here are the results!

i might get some better 2 sided tape because it feels flimsy.

and might need abit of moving around but it fits perfect! so id love your thoughts 

here is a link to all pictures from the process.and i put a picture of how it looks originally because i forget to take a before picture

ngl that's pretty neat but just personally imo i hate that case.

 

Its funny how times changed 10 years ago jagged sides and spikes where the thing and i cant cope with them now everything is minimalist look.

im a man child wan it gets to that.

maybe its because my first case ever was this chine's Lamborghini case it was a plastic shit but i loved it.

same here. i donnu i love that style allot. it also had 5 hdd holders at teh bottom so i like that i can keep the top clean from those cables and hdd's.

ya there's just something about old cases and how cheap there are. perfect for modding. i have an antec 1200 that i was thinking on re doing the side window but don't no its heavy modded all ready.  one think i hate about it is the top.  just collects dust.

ya i no some cases are ridicules hi price. i my self really liked the antec lanboy sadly i never got one...maybe one day.

i had a thing for as much 5.25 bays as posable and ended up buying a Xigmatek Elysium case so i could add rads in it. and i loved orange fans.....

i got this case practically 100% diffrent. it has a bigger rad holder and it now holds a EATX mobo insted of a ATX. so allot of work with my dremel. 

btw here it is cleaned and with teh 140mm fan on the side pulling hot air from the gpu

 

my next project is to cover the psu cables cus they look just ah......gonna make a shroud out of either painted plastic or metal. need to see what shape ill do it first tho.

heres my modded antec 1200. led feet, 2 cold cathode were i put the switch to the back of the case and not the pci slot, cut a hole for a 120 on the bottom. if i was still intrested in the case i cut out the drive bay mostly and leave 1 screw hole on the left for the front grill to attach cut and another another 120 or 2 140s on the bottom. and cut and add a full window. but i have modded and had 4 120mm fans in the front. other mods is cut a hole on top to fin the aio cable cleaner (that was a pain to cut) metal so thick.... also i cut a hole behind the mb tray to send the resent power cabes for cleaner look.
