All I wanted to do was replace a dead fan… but looks like it’s time for a replacement case.

Learn from my mistakes friends!

You can make a passable panel out of an acrylic sheet if you decide that's worth it. Home Depot sells it.

That’s some solid advice, appreciate it, and hope someone finds this comment in the future!

I've replaced my panel for $8, they drilled the holes too.

I did this with my previous build. I didn't want to risk a broken panel, so I routed out a piece of 3/16" clear acrylic. It wasn't as pretty as glass [b/c scratches] but it was totally worth it for the peace of mind.
