case Looking to Replace my Tempered glass to Acrylic.

[Yeti in a thong]

So due to bad case design, they have made all the tempered glass flush on all sides, meaning all the air intakes are covered with tempered class. It even looks like they have just used a previous version of their case and just drilled holes where needed to support the glass. I should have noticed in the picture but hey was too excited about the new GPU and CPU i had bought.

as you can see in the images, if they made the glass 2 inch smaller it would have actual air intake! rather then 3mm either side.  

 

But solution and issue: 

 

so replace the side walls of my case to acrylic, my only worry is due to the size of the sheet of acrylic needed, there might be an issue up with static build up.

 

Any ideas as to how i can combat this ?

There's no need to worry about static. Full Acrylic windows have been around longer than full TG. 

 

That really bugs me though. It would have almost been a not terrible case if the TG was proper

i think tempered glass was around a lot longer than acrylic

Yeah tell me about it, Lucky i didn't pay their £100ish price mark,  got mine second hand for a cool £20.  also cable management in this has been a bitch!

We're talking on mainstream PC's.  but youre historically correct

you could also just use a couple of washers to create a air-gap since it's just screwed on

Yes but there will always be static buildup on an acrylic window.

Dust will stick to it for more than glass.
