Introduction
Any true avid computer user would agree with you if you
said that case mods are awesome. In fact, even a computer novice would agree
that it looks cool. But what if don’t have the skill or knowledge to do a case
mod on your PC? Don’t feel left out, I’m with you.
I wanted to have a side window in my computer, but my lack
of knowledge/experience made me afraid to cut a hole into my precious Alienware
PC. I searched all over the internet for side panels with windows already cut
into it for my case, and I found quite a few, about 5 in all. I chose the
Directron side panel for various reasons.
For one thing, 3 out of the 5 side panels came only in
black and beige, a problem considering my computer is a blue color. The
remaining two were both nice, but the Directron side panel was the only one that
was blue and had an 80mm fan hole. Since my computer is overclocked,
cooling is important, so I went with them.
My System
Just to give you some background, here is my setup:
Alienware Aurora DDR
Conspiracy Blue Case
ASUS A7N266-C
Athlon XP 2200+
512MB Crucial DDR 2100 RAM
40GB Seagate 7200rpm Hard Drive
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
Sound Blaster Live! 5.1
ATI TV Wonder VE
Compaq Brand 8x4x32 CD-RW
Samsung 16x DVD-ROM
USB 2.0 Card
USB 1.1 Card
10/100 Ethernet
Floppy Drive
I also have 5 fans installed, not including the video card
fan or the heatsink fan. There’s also one 12” red cold cathode light from PCBoys
(bought at CompUSA). I’ll be adding another 4” red cold cathode very soon.
None of the above are included with the side panel window.
