I own the corsair 465x and I am bringing it to college. I have a 2070 super in it and I want to lock the glass side panel. Does anyone have suggestions on how to do this?

If they're gonna take the GPU, the whole systems coming with it, side panel lock or not.

You don't. If someone is savvy enough to open the side panel and remove your components a flimsy lock isn't going to stop them. It is a glass panel after all. If you are actually worried about someone taking your stuff buy a bunch of reuseable tamper seals and put them on the glass in such a way that it bridges the glass and the rest of the case, so in the event that someone takes off the side panel, it is broken and therefore you will know.

It’s just thumb screws

Side cutters can cut the cables on those in a matter of seconds. I can appreciate though that the GPU is more easily hidden. Look into a proper case if you really want theft prevention.

Haha I want to protect but not THAT bad. My rgb vomit is staying visible and just as obnoxious as the day I installed it😂

Right.  You replace the thumbscrews with screws that require a tool.  Preferably something a lot of people don't own like a Torx.

Yup, more obscure security screw type.

 

Ultimately someone might just cruise off with the lot.
