Smart glass side panel

Hi,

 

It just occurred to me that it'd be pretty cool to have side panel windows that are smart glass and therefore you could adjust the panel's opaqueness. Have you ever seen cases with smart glass side panels? How about after market smart glass side panels?

It would definitely be cool and would cost as much as making a custom one (one kidney).

If you can afford it, why not. But it sounds a bit pointless...

You would have to install one yourself. This sounds awesome though. You could also use LEDs to brighten it up instead.

Yeah, I thought as much. I have never seen smart glass on a case.

I've heard that the price could me moving up to One Kidney and an Eyeball soon... Sign of the times I guess.
