Coolermaster RA-840-KWN1-GP Black Transparent Acrylic Side Window Panel for ATSC840 ATX Tower Case
Cons:PriceAvailability
Pros:Clean looksSturdy design |
For my Cosmos S, I decided to mod a side window panel myself. While I am pleased with the result, it took a lot of effort, does not look 100% professional and also had an impact on the functionality of the panel latching system.This time around, I decided to purchase the side panel for my ATCS 840. I knew at the time, since it was in stock, it was a "now or never" kind of thing, because side panels only appear to be available for a short period. And indeed, that appears to be the case with this one.The price of $48 is - in my books - steep. Other side window panels I have purchased in the past were approximately half that price. But as I said earlier, it was available - and since I didn't want to have to cut up my side panel myself this time, I did not hesitate to spring for it.The end result is very nice. It has a very clean, tasteful finish - although, I would have preferred if CM skewed the window towards the rear of the case so as not to reveal the HDD bays - but that's a personal aesthetic annoyance that I'm sure not everyone would share.Overall, happy I bought it, but considering the price - would hesitate before making a similar purchase again.
