I was dumb and decided to get a nhd15 for my pc that is in a o11 which doesn't fit the cooler just barely and I was wondering if there was some kind of mesh side panel I could buy that would make it fit because I don't want to leave my computer open again (the last 3 cases ive had either haven't had a side panel or I lost it)

return the cooler?  or simply IDK make your own DIY side panel with some spacers + magnets?

Instead of a new side panel what about something like this, if the opening bothers you, maybe fill with some black foam tape to minimise the size of the opening. There are size options for a 15mm, 25mm and 45mm spacer kit for either the side and front panels, or both

The NHD15 has a height of 165mm and the o11 is able to hold coolers <155mm so the smallest spacer (15mm) should be enough for what you need!

Interesting idea!

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.
