DIY PC side panel window magnetic - quick and easy

[@daironlubian6250]

And not sure if you know this but it's not very good to put magnets that are TOO strong near the hard drive because the hard drive will break.

[@jojococostudio]

Damn you are right, I am pinning this, thanks very much for the info

[@louislemahieu8663]

Dairon Lubian as you say, a STRONG magnet is dangerous, these ones don't even come close, luckily. You're safe

[@daironlubian6250]

jojococo studio No problem!

[@jlrockafella]

Dairon Lubian not if it's m.2 or SSD

[@daironlubian6250]

Yes I know that, it can only be affected if it's a disk drive.

[@MiguelGuzmanIsAwesome]

what the fuck, that was amazing. Oh my god. Anyone else would've done a 15 minutes video about the subject and put little to no effort in it. I appreciate what you produced here and it truly blew me away. It was a fun and inspiring video to watch, so, thank you ever so kindly for making this. Also, happy holidays.

[@zulkifliasri3926]

Thank you, i just broke my side panel, was gonna change the casing but it doesn't worth it. So acrylic glass is a good idea.

[@brandon_wallace]

This is the best video! I bet a lot of people would cut through a steel door to add the Plexiglas. This method is a lot easier.

[@DizConnected]

I have been watching a lot of window case mod videos and thought about this method to attach the side panel. Glad to see I wasn't the only one to think of it. I had even thought of the same adhesive backed magnatic tape. Glad to see it works so well. Since I will not be using regular hard drives I don't have to worry about magnatic interference.

[@shrivikasvaishnavthakurjim1810]

What is the thickness of acrylic sheet?

[@zareenfatima6718]

*can you tell me what is the thickness of this sheet*

[@wallruss2962]

@Mickey J MTB late reply but thx

[@nonotouchtv]

Tip; it is better to put the painted/coated side on the inside of the window. It will still be visible and cover your magnets but will not suffer the as high of a chance of getting scratched by any outside objects.

[@Panzergruppe22]

Hey thanks, I don't have power tools so this method helped me a lot. I did it exactly like what you did, with some differences: - don't have acrylic score, but fortunately the acrylic shop was willing to cut the sheet into 45 x 42.5cm, and also cheaper than buy 50 x 50cm. - no one sells adhesive magnetic strip here. So I bought a magnetic strip thing that usually inserted in refrigerator door gasket (only one shop sells that lol), and I attached it using 2-sided tape. - just two strips on the top & bottom. Although the magnet is not particularly strong, given the length (42cm each, I think) it is able to hold the acrylic in place.

[@hasankhaddam540]

Hey does anyone have the link to buy the magnet strips please ? Thanks

[@sayif29]

How can i buy that glass?

[@louislemahieu8663]

very glad I found your channel! Hope you continue modding, you're good at it and will only improve from now on haha

[@Im1CrazyCow]

JoJo if you ever run into a problem where you have a small area to work with but need extra strong magnets then use Rare Earth magnets they are more money but most times are 2x stronger size for size........if you really need holding power you can make an electric magnet, I use them sometimes if i am building a big 3-D side panel...just some info nothing more......again Nice work JoJo keep moving Forward, your stuff is on point once again!! NOW Before the Magnet Nuts get crazy, You shield it to prevent damage just like HDD, SSD Drives and some of the New M.2 & New NVME drives do and most electronics are shielded to prevent AC/DC Bleed. If you are not sure or can not find the info on your installed item better to caution on the side of safety and just shield it to be extra safe & shield your magnets with deflecting material to keep from causing issues.

[@jiizx7559]

The video production is cool, your knowledge are improving day by day just like mine. Thanks Good job, you deserve more subscribers. Continues like this

[@derherr65]

Simple, inexpensive, reversible... Genius!

[@glitch015]

how thick is your acrylic panel?

[@Xale-yt]

I'm glad this was recommended to me, good job and great video!

[@XXxdjangox]

I like the concept, but it looks like either way the magnet doesn't make the panel flush. I'd probably bore out a cavity before adhering the magnets, also use a stronger neodymium/Earth magnet.

[@lightworkerlabs3287]

I accidentally broke my glass panel that came with my case 😫 I thought of replacing it, but if I broke it again I figured maybe there was a different solution, and then i found your video!. Definitely thing to try this and a plus is that it will be wayyy safer to have an acrylic side panel with a soon to be crawling baby...

[@kobexmike4143]

Did it work?

[@lrmcatspaw1]

Smart. I may do it myself. I only need to figure out if I want to keep my 250mm fan on or skip it.

[@Pauln.12345]

Wonder if i can do this on the fractal define design r5 the side panel sucks pain in the ass to get on and off

[@kottenmouthk1ngs]

What thickness is best? 1/8 or 1/4?

[@othellosmistake]

Did this with my optiplex 3020. A fun, cheap, easy mod.

[@lordzuzu6437]

Your build is very pretty, man. Great job!

[@nachovidal4047]

Nice..but i have an aluminium case and it doesnt work..how could i hold the acrylic? Thanks for the ideas

[@ZothiamaCF]

I dont have access to a lot of tools so this really helped me a lot thanks 👍👍👍

where do you get your acrylic? also what thickness? no youtubers ever give that information.

[@HassanKhan-yq3lw]

Hi Jojococo. I am unable to see the list of products you used for this video. the link does not work. what thickness plexiglass did you use. is 1mm thickness sufficient for this?

[@SumanSingh-dd4jf]

What should be the thickness of the glass??? Can anyone tell me, plz

[@MarshaMarlon]

great vid, my pc looks awesome and a lot less dusty than with open panel cause of the lights :) however: BEWARE of the staticity of the plastic panel. aparently cleaning it with microfiber cloth and deluted fabric conditioner will help with that. hold it against ur hair to check if its still static. (my hair was all rised up once i removed the safety plastic of the plastic plate and it gave me shocks., once i did the fabric conditioner trick it was fine again :) ) . (staticity of plastic doesnt go away on its own aparently, you also have anti static spray for this.)

[@michaelburton]

Easy and super clean. I’ll probably do this on my hp 15L since the case is kinda lame otherwise

[@jackmiddleton2080]

I would add one side screw hole just for those times you are moving the case in your car or something.

[@briancooper9876]

How about taking your window to glass company and make a tempered glass panel and use the strong regrigerator magnets (large ones) with hinges on the back?

[@drewschneider1583]

[@jorgeleon6995]

[@TheKiraYamaguchi]

How much did you spend on the acrylic/window? Where did you buy it? Is it acrylic or tempered glass or fiberglass?

[@mikelcaluag]

The Kira Yamaguchi In my area Toronto, Canada it's around $10 for 12"x 24" 3MM clear acrylic at a local plastic place. He's definitely using acrylic as the magnetic strips wont be able to hold up glass

[@TheKiraYamaguchi]

Thanks for replying. I bought acrylic glass near my place for only $5 :D

[@ronin_boogz]

please keep making these kind of videos about DIY PC designs man love it!

[@HarryKeogh]

Very nice video ! Just made my own side panel, although I used carbon car sticker instead of spray paint

[@qentsy]

The case has 4 pre drilled holes. 2 top. 2 bottom. Are they threaded? Or can you still holes in the sheet and fix it via the holes some how?

[@JitHster]

Thanks for the inspiration !! I just did a similiar windows, cause of your video !

[@yermo130]

For those that think magnets can damage hard drives I have my doubts but you can use Velcro strips I used this for a lot of things they are practical and safe.

[@xflu1293]

Would you recommend using a tinted or a clear glass for when there is lighting inside the case?

[@sharpexxx]

For me the clear one. For dark theme i go with a tinted glass

I would not trust the adhesive on the magnetic tape. They couldn't hold LED strips on my build. Ended up needing to gorilla glue the magnets onto the strips.

[@drewschneider1583]

What thickness

[@bobowk2175]

I have a problem. The side of my case is raised on the sides and the top is lower than the sides making the surface uneven. Is there any workaround?

[@zionadam6425]

mold it by heating up the plastic

[@DankuwOs]

So.. Why didn't you just measure the side panel, or place the side panel on the acrylic and cut the outline?

[@abk2369]

That's just how the acrylic is when you buy it, It's just a brown sticker that prevents it from being damaged while you're working with it. Once you're done, you peel that off and it reveals the clear panel underneath.
