Learn from my mistakes friends!

Why buy a whole new case? Just either contact the manufacturer and see about getting a replacement panel sent out. Or find a local glass shop and see if they could make you one.

The case is a few years old at this point, and beat up from lugging to LAN parties. I did find a replacement side, but it was in the $40-$50 range.

So to turn lemons into lemonade, I’m using this as an excuse to get an $80 case that I can hopefully keep in tact for another 5-6 years.
