Side window protection ?

[Dicehunter]

So like many I like my side window to look nice and clean but because manufacturers are cheap we end up getting windows that if we look at them too hard they develop scratches.

 

I ordered myself some Novus scratch repair and polish, If you don't know what this is then I highly recommend you go looking for it, It's magical wizardry and actually repairs scratches and leaves a gleaming surface that looks like new.

 

Anyway is there anything on the market that you can put on the acrylic windows that will protect them ? It seems even using a brand new micro fiber cloth leaves tiny scratches and it's irritating.

You mean like a huge screen protector? I believe there are companies that can custom-cut screen protectors to any size, but I have no idea what that would cost.

I'd rather just save a bit o cash and replace my shitty plastic side window with actual glass. Not really that hard to do. Although making it fit completely flush, that is another story. Lucky for me the air 540 window is just right angles.

That's what I'm going to do when I make a case. It will be like the Lian li pc-v359 but wood and glass

When I make a case, I'm going hand brushed (hand power tool lol) stainless. I love the look of stainless steel, especially when it's been polished.

 

Although, a Damascus finish would be sexy as well

I would, but I have no metal cutting/bending tools

All you need for bending (for 90 degree angles) is a sturdy table, strong hands, a pair of welding gloves, a torch, and some clamps. Cutting, all you need is a dremel, unless it's like, thick metal

Just buy backup acrylic window(s) or buy something similar from a local supplier. Even glass scratches or worse cracks and breaks, end results are not as pretty to your body if it happens, why they don't use it.
