View 31 Front panel

I bought the Thermaltake View 31 sometime at the beginning of 2018, it's a great case so far but one of the flaws is the front panel. I thought there would be a good amount of room in the front. As you can see in the images there is a ridge that sticks up. Don't get me wrong the front of this case looks great, but this does limit my airflow (there is a measurable difference when the front panel is off). Is there any company that makes custom panels for cases? I would prefer not to cut this ridge off but If no one can create a custom front panel (preferably out of mesh) could someone recommend me a tool to use?

You know I was just looking for a custom panel (mod) company that would do this for my friends case as the mesh front panel only covers a small portion of the front. So far the case modders I know have said no, they don't do custom work, nor edit an existing panel (you send it in.)

 

I'm guessing no, my friend might just return his.

Best & worst cases for your money in 2018 are:

 

Best Cases overall

 

I) Fractal Design Meshify C - Airflow and relatively quiet, best all around case

I) Phanteks Enthoo Pro M / Special Edition (white interior) - Airflow & full water cooling support

I) Fractal Define R6 - Silent with decent airflow

I) Be Quiet! DB 900 (Full Tower) - Airflow and silent 

I) Fractal Design Meshify C mini (mATX)

I) Corsair 400C - Only use with low end components, no 1080 / TI

I) Phanteks 350X - Only use with low end components, no 1080 / TI

I) Fractal Design Focus G

 

Cases that may be worth your money

 

I) Thermaltake G21 - GPU and CPU cooling issues, modest tweaking
I) Silverstone RL06 / Pro - Mustard/Ketchup wires, Shitty cable management, Poor front radiator support, useless psu filter, stupid ssd layout
I) In Win 303

I) Coolermaster H500 no suffix - if 200mm fans are your thing

I) NZXT H700 non "i" version - Needs to come down in price to be worth it

I) Corsair Carbide 100R - Suitable for low end builds

 

The worst cases - Do Not Buy

 

I) NZXT S340/Elite, H500, H440 (everything except the H700) Reason: Poor airflow
I) Coolermaster Masterbox 5

Majority of cases on the market
