Antec P180 side window where to buy one? I have searched and have come up empty handed.

Can anyone help me find a window side already made. Not the full case just the windowed side.

did you try antec.com? i know they used to sell replacement parts.

if it's not on their website, im sure you can call or email their support and inquiry about a replacement part.

No clear side-panels are available for this case. You can try getting an extra one from Antec and do it yourself, or pay someone to do it for you, e.g. Performance-pcs sells windowed versions of the P!80, you could ask them what the cost would be for them to cut and sell a windowed side panel to you.

there has to be someone on the net that sells windowed sides already made.

This internet is a large place. LOL

Getting a window in that case would be a huge waste of money. You'd loose all of the sound dampening benefits of the matted doors... why on earth would you want a window that badly?

because I bought a few bling bling items and want to make them viewable.

Sound is not my concern, I can deal with the noise.


Items I bought that I would like to show case.
Video card
memory
heatsink
Case fans.. LED 120mm

dude, DON'T GET A WINDOW for the P180. Are you nuts?! You paid in excess of $120 for the case, and you're defeating the purpose of paying that much by getting a hacked off version by adding a window? nonononono. you get this case for its conservative classy style, and its sound dampenning properties. Getting a P180 w/ a window defeats the purpose of getting one in the first place.

There's a reason why it's hard for you to find a window for this popular case.

People still buy LED fans and disco balls for their case? That's so 1999.

so what...let the guy do what he wants. its called "modding" for a reason...even though it isnt technically modding (i consider modding to be drilling and cutting open a computer case, making it to the exact specs that you want, etc).

whatev panda bear...

And you will not find it unless you special request it, so please stop bumping this thread which is in the wrong forum to begin with.

I wish they made a plate to cover the top blowhole. Anyone know of a good way to cover that thing up without it looking ghetto?

If you guys could help me find a modded side, I could please myself with a window version and when you come over I will place the unmodded side back on.. just give me about 2 minutes notice so I can swap the sides out.



I just want a modded side, I see that one place sells it as a $200 case... I just want the side with the window already installed.

Performance-PCs will also laser etch any design you want on the window if you are into that. All you have to do is send them the design. Level0rd is the guy that does most of the modding for PPC. He posts over on HardForum. He's got a thread over in their case modding section where he'll answer questions and give advice. He might know if there are any aftermarket windows for the P-180. I think the windows they use are actually made for a different case. They just mod it to the P-180.
