Case with both sides windowed.

Hi, I recently got a 750D and I really love it but one of the USB ports on the front panel wasn't working and the window panel had two minor scratches.

So I sent in a ticket to Corsair and they sent me everything I needed and now I have two window panels.

I've put both on and I really love the way it looks even though my cable management isn't great, but is there anything wrong with it? 
It's something I've never seen before and when I googled it I couldn't find anyone that's done it or even just talking about it.

Is there an actual reason they use a solid piece on the back side or is it just because it doesn't make too much sense to have both windowed?

It just doesn't make sense to have the back of the motherboard (or often the cable management spot) shown.

The only reason as far as I’m concerned is that where as round the front you have all your expensive stuff Gpu Cpu etc around the back it's just cables so unless it's someone really desperate to show off there custom sleeved cables or is an absolute beast at cable management it make zero sense for anything to be back there.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

1 reason: asthetics. That's the only reason why people would do it. But most don't like looking at a bunch of messy cables :P

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Unless they have custom sleeved cables and they are a pro at cable management.  B)

I agree. That would look awful imo.

Sounds like someone needs to clean up their cable management then  ^_^

lol. I put my cables in the back so that way they don't show in the front window. You could always get that plastic see through case. Forgot what its called.

I said that because it wouldn't look awful if you had even decent cable management 

Still looks awful imo and I do have great cable management.
