Side panels possible in home replacement?

yvesasidillo · Dec 13, 2017

hello i recently purchased an omega x1 3side tempered glass case while installing my motherboard i accidentally dropped a screwdriver and shattered the glass now im left with 2 tempered glass and is exposing 1 side of my system ( the one behind the motherboard ) where all cables are hidden. im worried for possible dust build up inside my system, can i cover it with cloth or something? what can be a good replacement for it? any ideas?

Cloth is fine, though probably not long term, depending on the type of cloth. You could probably find a sheet of plexi/acrylic/polycarbonate on amazon/online that would be big enough and easy enough to cut and drill using wood working tools. The shipping is usually pretty painful because of the dimensions. So if you can find something local that might be better.

yah a piece of plexiglass/acrylic would be the easiest and cheapest solution to keep it see through.

local hardware store usually stocks it or perhaps hobby store as alternative option.

be careful drilling/cutting it though as it can crack rather easily. slow speeds n lots of patience is the way to ensure it does not break while drilling into it.

more expensive option would likely be to contact the case makers support and see about buying a new piece of glass forit. i'm sure they sell them and would be happy to let you buy one.
