all i want is a cool window for the side of it

most likely not for that case... its an emachines case... maybe if you had purchased an antec, lanli, ect... you can purchase windows for those cases... what i would do if i were you is just take the sidepannel off and tape where your going to make the cuts with masking tape, and cut verry carefully with a dremel.. then go to lowes, or home depot and purchase a sheet of clear acrilic... then you usualy can just use hot glue to hold in the window... or you can drill holes and bolt it in... bottom line no there isnt a place where you can buy a side pannel for that case sorry :(

Also i would reccomend a new case anyways... for about 50 bux or less you can get yourself a pretty decent case with a side pannel window... if you tell me what you like i maybe able to reccomend a few cases to you... also if your worried that taking your pc out of the case is going to break anything, you shouldnt fret... its accualy a very simple task (a bit time consuming) but just be careful and it can be rewarding to put your hardware in an new environment (case) :P

good choise... but again it is a premod... if your fine with one the dont let anyone stop you.. that is a very nice premod... aspire makes some realy cool cases... but as i posted in the other thread premods dont leave much room for customization.

You know, if you find a case with a side panel, or just a side panel built the way yours is, it's most likely compatible. Or look and see if emachines sells cases like that, or you can buy a panel with the same dimensions and just tape, glue, or some other way on your case. It's simple, I do this stuff all the time with everything I own. There's gotta be a way, and like I said, if you have to just resort to custom panels or jury rigs. If you cut a hole in your panel (that metal is probably really thin) and buy some of that plastic stuff, whatever it's called, with whatever tint you want, then cut the tinted stuff to that shape and screw it in, there you go, a custom case. The tinted stuff just has to be bigger than the hole and smaller than the entire panel, very very easy Really, if you look at the way side panels are made it's REALLY simple. Just screws, tinted plastic, and a hole in the panel.

Just thought I would add that it's called plexiglass. Some cases just use clear plastic, but the more expensive ones (Name brands, and cases $50 and up I'd say.) use real plexi.

I don't know how eMachines are constructed but I know that Dells have custom motherboards that won't fit any other case. However that was with my dads socket 423 P4 from 2000, so things could have changed by now. Ask the place where you bought your PC if your motherboard is a standard ATX motherboard. If they can't answer you atleast you'll sound smart and confuse them. :)

just mod it go to the nearist hardware store and buy a sheet of plexy glass and cut a hole in the side and place it in with some fancy screws :rolleyes:
but it would cost less to just buy a case with one and less time :p

[wazzledoozle]

Just get a new case.

you can also get a piece of plexi glass cut at your local glass shop for about 20 bucks in any design.i did it on my pld case work very well.

Email Emachines, give them the model number of your pc. Ask them.

If I were you I'd learn to build my own pc, they are much easier to upgrade as needed.
