Need a window on Centurion 531

[captses]

Hey all. I am starting my first project. The case is a silver Centurion 531. I have a new water system coming thanks to Danger Den and I am going blue all the way. There is only one prob, no window. Do any of the other CM windowed panels fit? I guess if not then it will be fun using the dremel.

You can always "window"-it using a dremel (like you suggested). It should be an easy task... :wink:

using a dremel and a special idea , it might turn out pretty nice...

i used a jigsaw to cut my window out its a lot easier to cut large areas with a jigsaw than using a dremel, but i used my dremel to grind the edges nice and smooth afterwards!

WOW!!! That's a really nice window mod, leeglf!!! Well done!!! :wink:

[captses]

I agree. So where and when do I ship mine to you for the work? Thanks for the help. I am looking forward to cutting the hole.

if you are going to cut it youself make sure you get a decent jigsaw blade not a really cheap one and make sure you mask everything off really well to avoid scratching your case!

Good luck! :lol:

Sunbeam and Kingwin both use the same exact case (different front bezel)with different types of windows. So if you're looking for a factory window, you might check their web sites............... :lol:

Coolermaster used to sell factory windows for the Centurions, but ever since they re-did their website I have not seen them at all... :cry:

It sucks too because I'm getting a Centurion 534 and wanted the same thing...

[leeglf]

this one says it fits the centurion mid tower cases i think its the same one playfly187 has got but not 100% sure

Oh, hey! I found the page on their website! It was kinda hidden, as there was no link to it...but whatever, I found it!

However, since Coolermaster doesn't sell direct (go figure) you'll have to find somewhere else to buy them...hmmmm...

They do say they are only for Praetorians and WaveMasters, but I'm fairly confident that they should fit a Centurion...

Just make sure you measure to make sure it fits...

thanks all for the info. I e-mailed Coolermaster but no reply. Forget them. I think that I will do it my self as it will be fun.

GOOD LUCK. Please post your "windowed" case when you're done... :wink:

Be careful! And I forget, but I think you said it was your first time with a dremel? If so, make sure you cut so there is a bit more left on than you desire so that you can grind it smooth!
