I successfully cut a window out on my last case, but it was time consuming and a pain in the arse.
I traced out the outline of where I wanted to cut my window out on the backside of the case cover with a marker. I then drilled a hole in it with a large bit as a starter hole, and I broke out my jigsaw and went to town on it.
The part I screwed up on was that I cut the bottom edge of my window too close to the metal that catches and secures the side panel to the case. I didnt notice until I was done. I also cut the window just a little too large IMO. I mounted my window from the inside via brass screws instead of the sealant strip since it wasn't being sold online at any place I could find at the time.
I did take the time to file the minor sections that were jagged to a smooth finish.
I think it turned out ok overall, but I just would have rather avoided going through the trouble since I really made a mess customizing my last system.
Ok, one question for you YY cube pros. What size window should I order for it? I want to save as much time as I can and get a premade window kit. I'm not sure what the dimesions are of the cube, and I'm too impatient to wait 5 days until it gets here to find out. The site I got it from didn't have the dimensions and they didnt answer the phone, although they shipped my order (got an email confirmation).
I guess I stumbled over the site by luck because it looks like nobody else has them in stock. The site I went to had them in the creamy color (hate it) and black. I ordered a black one to save me the hassle of repainting it.
Thanks
