hehehe i have the design in my head kinda, but no moneh plus ive no idea how to mount the window then, since the panel is so damn thick

Oh that's easy, you can do it in a few ways. Just glue it to the back of the hole in the sidepanel, which means it will be recessed the thickness of the panel, or do this;

That makes it sit flush with the edge of the sidepanel, but it's expensive to have it milled like that

Yeah the panel is to thick to have it recessed. i was thinking about an extrusion like that, just need to find someone who is ready to do that for me

UPDATE

 

I got the T8 in the mail today, so what better use of the day than start dismantling the case

Well, it didnt go smooth, firstly, the screws are damn tight, and hella loads of them... then they are obscured by stuff. in the end i had to prematurely pull out (heh) the midplate to gain access to the upper section, which ill do tomorrow morning.

 

And alas, the pictures

 

The little bugger we were all waiting for

 

You can see the screws missing on the bottom side, as well as no midplate and drive bays

The sidepanel, midplate and the locking bar mechanism thingy, taking a rest 

 

All of the screws and nuts nicely ordered in a... yes... yes it is.
