Most of us just don't have the room for a right window and cathodes, and even if
we did, what the hell is interesting about a window on the right side?

The effort of an installation just to look at a motherboard tray? No thanks...

Another thing you could do is cut out design, put a frosted window on the back, and light that up. Like this guy did.

Someone else made this one; it has a small window in the right side between the case front and the mobo tray. Coincidentally, she also put an oriental symbol on it...

The Design:

I might have to have a the Japanese symbol ryu (dragon) on the side of my case... I still have to figure out a good way to cut a window on left side...

Yeah, that was always one of my favorite mod jobs in the gallery. From the left side, it's nice but average. There's something I just really like about that perfectly cut right-side design (the mirror-finish paint job doesn't hurt, either). Probably more linear inches of cutting in that design than in the big window on the other side...

EDIT: By the way, here are some past threads about methods of case cutting:

If you have a removable motherboard tray, or a removable right panel, it makes things a lot easier. I tried drilling out all the rivets i could find on mine and i still cant get it off. Check my <sketches about my right side plans here. And heres my inspiration for actually doing something with my right side.

I cut my same "flame" effect that i have on one side. altough i have 1/8 of room between the mobo plate and actual window i couldnt put a cathode in there so what i decided to do was etch the whole window (basically a frost) and use four THC3 LEDs and do Lokies mod of putting them a the side and letting the etching glow. looks very nice and never done, atleast in my area.

I've got a window in the top 3rd of one of my cases ... I was planning to have it on the left side of my monitor & have a series of clocks in there (time in LA, New York, London & Sydney), but I never got around to it
