Front Panels?

bugz · 29-December-02, 11:33 PM

Does anyone know any place online that sells front panels (the ones with the Power & reset buttons)? The case i have has an ugly panel which i intend to replace but i havn't seen any place that sells these types of panels. Just nice looking power and reset buttons would be find too... I'd be able to mount them on momentary switches myself... i just havn't found any ones that look nice.

seeing as how the layout of almost every case differs in one way or another, its going to be awfully hard to find a replacement.

If you think the front is ugly you probably only have two choice, 1: buy a new case 2: break out the dremel and start modding the bitch!

you seem to have misunderstood me.. i dont want to replace the WHOLE front panel.. that would be just crazy. Perhaps front panel wasnt the correct choice of words. I just want to replace the panel with the power, reset buttons and the LED's.

This pic i found is what i want to replace:

does any online store sell those or any other variations without the whole case?

Don't know what you have planned, but if you need extra LiLi aluminum for a replacement power plate (bit tech uses plexi), PCMods sells scrap aluminum (roughly 10.5"x8") that'll match the case perfectly for $3. It's a bit thicker than the aluminum used for the bay covers, though. Just a thought, if you need it...

If you have IGN Insider, I did a how-to guide on changing the Power LED and the HDD LED. Its posted on the IGN Boards.
