Chassis “modding”

[Dracul]

Sup peoples!

Looking for some recommendations, I own a nzxt noctis 450 rog see picture below
While I love the design of this, I really hate the acrylic side panel wiped some dust off it on day one and instantly regretted.

Anyone can recommend a noob friendly approach to perhaps replacing the acrylic for tempered glass, or even a whole new side panel with tempered glass?
Wouldn’t even mind paying (a reasonable price) to have it done.

Cheers thanks : )

Hey, not an easy thing to do. But It can be done. Go and talk to some people who do glazing. In fact guys who do the glass kitchen splash backs will be able to sort you out. It will be costly - may be better to purchase a new case....

Damn problem is I love the case design suppose I’ll live with the acrylic if it’s too much, thanks for the idea : )

is it a flat side panel?

would you go so far as to "square" that window?

got a quote a while ago for I think it was a 500x500 piece of 4mm TG with holes on the edges and it came to I think R600 (will check later on)

just not sure if they are able to custom cut it but would need to either have an exact measurement sheet with design on, or in this case, that acrylic panel for reference

I know for a fact that the guys that do glass kitchen splash backs can do it to size with drilled holes. The whole side panel should be removed and the glass cut to that size and holes for thumb screws...

It is flat, yes
I wouldn’t mind square or even replacing the entire panel with tempered glass actually might be nice.

Instead of thumbs screws and such, how do you think a magnetic strip would hold?
Saw a YouTube video of someone doing that with acrylic. Just a bit concerned when I need to open up to replace parts and such.

TG is quite hefty so magnetic strip I wouldn't advise
