Your best bet would be sending Pete21 a message, Also check out his computer modding site here.
And what your talking about is making whats known as a 'Window'.

Unless of course, he meant that the whole panel would be replaced with plexi glass/perspex/acrylic

That I suppose would be more of a plexi glass side thing than a window

I'm just about to do one myself soonish, should turn out Ok, presumably you have some appropriate gargey tools?

Dremel, Band/Jig/Scroll etc.?

Oh and thanks for the link to petes site, didn't know he had one but I'll take a look, I'm liking his 2 tower mod :P

your in look.. today i have just cut the windows out of my side panel doors for my custom build.
i will post pictures two morrow here >http://www.computer-juice.com/forums...e-build-21952/

all you need to do is take the side of your case. measure out were you want the window. drill a hole in one of the corners then cut with a jigsaw using a metal small tooth blade then cut perspex just abit bigger than the window you have just cut then drill holes and fix to the case panel

example of what i mean

need any help dont hesitat to ask
