So I'm planning a new setup for my case & monitor and plan to have my case on my desk next to my monitor. My question is whether my case, the PC-O7SX with a tinted tempered glass side panel will reflect my monitor's image onto the surface like my Corsair 750D's window did. I will be lighting the tempered glass from the inside with LED Strips but don't want a crazy amount of reflection of my screen on the case.

 

Any ideas or help before I decide to move my case under my desk?

 

Thanks

Yes, the lighting will help but you will get a reflection.

Would the curve in the monitor help at all?

I suddenly felt like posting when I saw an old member :P

 

Best option here is getting a mirror and check around or a piece of glass with a dim light behind it but good luck going through all that trouble
