with all the email campaigns, storm your retailers to remind them to get their butts in gear
and get these in for you guys/gals who need them instad of modding your own.

what case do you have.. cut it up for practice.. so you might be looking at the
back-side of the motherboard tray, but it is always a work in progress..
if you finally get one.. c'mon back with a display of grandure..

i just saw an ebay seller listing the windowed side-panel for sale. this is a US sale
so it must either be releasing or available. he had 10 and they look to be white
panels.

using part number: FD-AC-WND-ARCB

Its probably the one for the R4 I haven't seen anything on the Arc Midi's yet

I want it though since I don't use the fan mount, and it'd help with positive pressure.

yeah, its total suckage for the mini.

so, make one yourself. its not really that difficult. a great modding project.
plus you can have it "your way!" LOL.. really..

display your rig proudly.

items needed:
side panel (of course)
1/8" plexiglass or other clear panel
dremel or jigsaw (20-35tpi blade(s))
double-sided tape
low-tack masking tape (i use the 3M 410)
marker
measuring device (tape, ruler..)
touch up paint (i use the SEM Black Trim Paint similar sheen and color)

just an idea
