NemesisNG Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hi Quick one, I've managed to scratch the plastic side window pannel for the 800D case I own and need a replacement. Where can I get one from? I'm hoping I can order one and pay direct from Corsair? I've seen the replacement solid panel in the online store, but nothing for the window parts. Help!

deees Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Actually, the window on the 800D looks pretty simple. You may want to consider simply replacing it with a piece of polycarbonate. Use the original one a template, and perhaps pickup a hand-drill for making the holes. Optional, with polycarbonate, by probably necessary for Plexiglas, (it melts easily.)

PeterFazekas Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Agreed with the above, just buy a sheet of plexi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemesisNG Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 Exactly what I've decided to do :) Sheet of 500mm x 500m has been delivered today. Also decided to go for a light smoke colour instead of the clear to see how it looks. Cost a total of £10 Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NemesisNG Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Managed to fit it this weekend just gone. Slightly tricky to do tho, as two of the nuts holding the original panel on are recessed into the plastic, so I had to cut around those two nuts with a dremel to release them. I've not replaced those two nuts either, just left them off. The other issue is that the plastic panel is also countersunk on theother side to allow the bolt fitting to sit into the window slightly making a seal with the plastic to the metal case side. Mine now not being countersunk is sat about 1mm proud which doesn't look a problem at all, but is letting air come through which can be seen in the pattern of the dust left on the window. So I'm happy for now, but It could benefit from a slight revision, to either counter sink the holes, or to use some foam tape around the edge to make a seal again. Anyway... http://www.nickgoodall.co.uk/pics/computer/aquasidian/51.jpg Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
