I want to swap the side panel with an aclyics sheet. But it doing so will leave a ugly silver dempt on the top and bottom side of the pc, since the original side pane wraps around to hold itself in place. Is there a way to patch it up?

    That is actually very smart. Should I be making the acrylics panel a few mm bigger than the hole i cut, then pressing it into the hole

      Yes. I recommend gluing the acrylic to the inside of the steel panel. It’s hard to drill holes (for tiny brass bolts) that close to the edge without cracking.

      Although, I suppose you could melt the holes. Carefully. Or glue magnets. Nothing in a PC these days that a magnet can hurt.

        I bought a dremel and about to start cutting soon. Should I make the corner of the hole rounded or straight right angle? And how big should the hole be?
        I added a rgb strip on the very bottom, the ram lights up and the fan is rgb too. Also I am planning to attach a t-force delta rgb ssd on top of the CD from or replace the CD rom if I run out of heights
