Antec 1200 sidepanel scratched! :o( Poll!!!

My Antec 1200 came with a scratched side panel on the acrylic. This seems to be a common problem with antec 1200 cases. Its starting to bug me a lot!! Arghhh. I found a side panel replacement off FrozenCpu.com

Spraypainting it will likely just scratch or peel off if you don't properly prep the surface. I'd just slap a sticker on it or find some way to cover it, as $100 is way too much for a piece of acrylic.

Agreed 100 bucks is just way too much for just a side panel like that. Maybe if it was $50 bucks, but no way for $100. Hmmm I don't know where I can get a sticker though..

Rather than spray paint the whole thing, why not try a just hiding the scratch behind a stencil?

You just cut out the out line of it, tape it down to the case and spray.

This is currently plastered in the center of my clear acrylic side panel, and I think it looks pretty nice.

Where can i get that?

U can mod it and put Pexi which will be much better, get the Side panel from Frozen Cpu, or...idk paint it lol

Ok I found a place for stickers...

Stickergiant.com

Lol they have a sticker of two naked chicks... that would like nice on my case ha

Man $100 is a crazy amount.

Yeah.. If you really are buggered go follow the other tip, cut your own glass back in.

FrozenCPU is ALWAYS overpriced, never shop there.

Buy $100 worth of stickers and cover it up

hahaha winner!!!!

If it's a brand new item, why not send it back for a replacement?

go to the antec website store and on the left navigation panel is a link to "spare parts" look or use CTRL+F. anyways a replacement windowed panel is about 20 bucks. I was just there looking for my 1200 but for the other panel. BTW, I just created this account to answer this question...LKanti
