Tempered glass sidepanels?

[Lays]

So Phanteks makes an Evolv ATX case with a tempered glass side panel, but they don't make an M-ATX version of it.

The MATX version has a really small side panel versus the normal non tempered glass Evolv, and I really want a larger window. 

 

Is there any way or any companies that make custom order stuff like that?

I tried contacting Phanteks through twitter but no response. I suppose I can email them but I doubt they'll help much.

 

 

I'd get the full size case, but I have an MATX board, and it'll look weird IMO

Ever thought of putting those tinting foil stuff on the Window ? Or no Option for you ?

there was a dude in Europe who owns a shop and sells custom CNC'd tempered glass window replacements for cases

I don't want the tempered glass for the tint.

 

 

I want it because the window is huge, and shows all the hardware off in the case. 

 

Here's the tempered glass one, full size ATX:

 

 

 

Here's the MATX version:

you could consider the inwin 303, due to its design it suits MATX fairly well

oooh a panel mod can work

You could always use a rotary tool to cut out the side panel to size and there are plenty of companies who sell custom size tempered glass over the internet. I was planning to do this with my Define R5 as that has a pathetic window, but I'm just going to be patient until my next build in a Dark Base Pro 900.

not a big fan of the radiator thing in the top.  My custom loop is all external, so that radiator space would never be used and i think it'd probably look goofy.

If your provide the dimensions and shape to a glass shop they can custom make you one and temper it for you. That's how they make custom sized shower enclosure for showers so it wouldn't be very different. If you use thumb screw be sure to account for those ahead of time since you can cut or drill tempered glass once it's been tempered.

Do you think I could buy the case, then take it there and ask if they could measure and give advice about it?

@Lays I think the easier solution here is to sell your Z170M OC Formula and buy a Maximus 8 Formula. My $0.02

You would rather go through the hassle of finding a glass shop and they might do a good job or not. Why not just switch to atx. Full Size ATX Z170 OCF is gud too.

Yeah if you  were to bring I to them and have a design for it they could measure it out for you but it will be quite expensive though since it will basically be a custom cut and made sheet of tempered glass.

You can actually but a piece of tempered glass and if you have the tools drill some holes and throw some thumb screws on. If your careful and take your time you should be able to do it without breaking the glass although make sure you get the right kind of drillbit. A drillpress would also help a lot.

You can't drill or cut tempered glass it must be cut to size and drilled before tempering so it must be custom made.
