how to cut the side panel ?
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=125902&page=2

In google give the name of the cabby you have .From image select a picture with a side panel. draw a sketch in paintbrush for the side panel. or you can take a picture of your cabby and then do the job in system.

Now, draw that same sketch with a pencil on the side panel.go to a tin cutter (generally grill worker).*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=125902


total cost ?
acrylic will be within 100 bucks.

no idea about silicon gel

how to make space for fans on the acrylic sheet?

i cannot find any pic of your cabby.

have you gone through the links provided to you. i have done modding in CM ELITE 310.

thing else can be used against acrylic sheet.

can;t get you.

who will make holes in acrylic sheet

you do for yourself.

after you buy that sheet and design it, some wastage will come out. now make a screw driver hot and pierce it through the sheet(in the wastage part) first. or you can drill it from a carpenter keeping a thick cloth beneath so that it will not crack.

after all these are done you may go for lighting portion. i will tell you that after you finish the first part.

do you have any problem in posting the pic:?:
ok at least tell me the model name and number of your cabby.

not able to find acrylic sheet anywhere

u have searched in the glass selling shop? though not all glass shops have it.
OR

any relative u have in kolkata? i can arrange for the same.


can use simple glass instead

pls don't. it will increase the weight of the cabby. & the chance of breaking is high.

not able to find rubber u channel.

why is it required?

asked a grill cutter he will cut the side panel

great.

Have a look here : *www.lian-li.com/v2/en/product/product03.php?cl_index=2&sc_index=29

Lian-Li sells separate side-panels. So if u can buy this then no need to do any cutting.
