Okay so Ive always wondered, How in the world can I clean my side window pannel without scratching it so lightly. I had a thermaltake and wiped it with a 100% cotton shirt and it totally scratched the whole pannel, I am not about to do the same mistake with my h440 nzxt case. How can I wipe it/clean it properly??

You would never use cotton or polyester  material to wipe down acrylic or plastic. 

 

This can be fixed if you have some light polish with you. 

 

Always use a GOOD quality microfiber towels, and no not the ones sold in Advanced Auto Parts or Autozone, like good ones.

The best thing I have found so far to clean the H440 window up with is the swiffer dusters. I have not put one scratch on the window with that thing :)

Microfiber cloth and some Windex or glass cleaner. (I don't know if they have acrylic cleaner or what ever the window is made out of.)

Omg, Yeah someone actually recommended me to use a 100% cotton shirt to wipe it, so I tried it again on my h440,  very little tough, just on the bottom right corner of the window, and well even tough its un-noticable, it cannot be unseen anymore! :(

I personally use the plush microfiber towels on keyboards and pc parts. They are lint-free.

As with lenses, good surface preparation helps to reduce scratching. The big problem are small bits of grit that adhere to the surface, often in the oils left by touching the panel but sometimes through a static charge. One can use @ericlee30's excellent idea of a Swiffer or canned air pointed at a very acute angle to blow off the grit. Then something to remove the oils. And finally a microfiber cloth to finish.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
