Case Modding Help

[Heihachi]

Hey Yall,
I'm really curious on how you put a window on the side of your case. I just want to have a basic window set on the side of my comp so that I could put 2 90MM fans... Does anyone have any good tips on how to do this? Or any links?

Adding a window is one of easiest modifications to do. Basically, using a Dremel tool or a jigsaw, you cut out a window of any desired shape and size. There are several ways to attach the plexi-glass for the window. The simplest method is to simply place adhesive stips around the inside edges and slap the plastic on. If you want a nice finished look, you can purchase moulding strips at numerous website or even auto-parts store. Some of these strips are U-shaped, which allows you to insert the plexi-glass into the moulding itself, eliminating the need for adhesives.

Here are a few websites to check out for more info:

There are many others, but those should get you started.

I got mine for $40 off of ebay. It's not dremel brand but it does what its supposed to and you can buy dremel tools and it'll work with it. I think they have a store... www.symmic.com i think

you could probably find them at Sears, Home Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware, and even your local no name hardware store.

Go to cyberguys.com, they have the windows and tools to do the cutting. Their prices seem to be good too.
