My next door neighbour has given me a bunch of old tech stuff including an old Epson scanner.

My question is:

Would I be able to use the piece of flat glass in the scanner as a side panel window for my case?

 

(I would normally buy a new side panel with a window but I can't find the case model online from the only sticker on it)

AMD Ryzen 1800x @4Ghz

32GB DDR4 G.Skill Trident-Z RGB 3200Mhz

ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F Gaming motherboard

250gb WD Black NVMe SSD

 

Peripherals:

Asus VG24V 144hz 1080p

Logitech MX Master

Corsair K70 Mk2

Yeah you can use the glass from a scanner note it's just regular window glass usually and not tempered so just becareful when handling and moving once on the panel cause it breaks into large shards.
