Hey everyone! I have a question regarding the NZXT Source 210 Elite... I am about to receive the case and would love to have a full acrylic side panel so show off the liquid cooling and sleeved cables.

I would like to keep approximately 1-1.5" of the actual side panel so i can easily slide it on and off. My question is how do I go about doing this? Should I simply use a 1" hole saw on a drill and drill four holes on each corner of the side panel, and then carefully measure and cut from hole to hole to achieve a rounded corner square shape on the side panel? And then place the acrylic behind the actual panel and use small flat screws to hold it in? Or is there and easier way of doing this that will look better?

I would like to achieve this type of look, but I am not certain how exactly it is held in place flush with the panel. Basically, I am going for a flush look, that will make the acrylic sit perfect with the metal side.

What do you guys and gals think? Thanks:) ))

you most tape both side of the acrylic panel and use a press drill if you could with a good cutting blade at slow speed or the you risk to crack the acrylic sheet and made scratch .
