I live near the company that makes the windows and composite body panels for NASCAR and other series race cars. I just talked with them and they can definitely make clear Lexan side panels for Cosmos II cases. I also have a Cosmos II myself and the panels needed to make a templates from. The person in charge of windows wasn't in today but I left a voice mail with him. Their sales department said it sounds interesting. Now I need to find out how much interest there actually is in going forward with this project. The finished product quality should be fantastic considering the other things the company makes.

I didn't pursue it further due to lack of responses. I just called them again and got the name of the person to talk to. He's not in today but I'll call him next week. I did speak with the person in charge of making the race car body panels and he said it sounds easy to do a CNC setup for. This isn't the type of project they'd normally do to make a small order of though.

I'm not in a financial position to underwrite having 100+ panels made then not be able to get rid of them. I won't know more until I talk with the correct person and convince him this is a viable project to go forward with. There are several factors involved in doing this with them. It's going to require a face to face sit-down talk, showing him the factory metal & plastic original panel then considering the various steps and costs leading to actual production. There may also be an issue of patent infringement to consider as well.

While I would certainly sign up for buying one or a set, you certainly would not want to buy anywhere near 100+ as this is a decade old case at this point with a very small niche base! You'd be lucky if you sold even a half dozen and that would take years!

Ideally they could be made then sold to Cooler Master for legal sales & distribution. This isn't an amateur project by any means. When I initially spoke with their head of sales two months ago he mentioned his brother was a PC modder and said he did see a potential market for making Lexan side panels for other cases as well. I'm at what's called "Scribbling on the napkin" point on this so far. Companies are in business to make money by satisfying consumer demands. This particular company makes body panels and windows for NASCAR, IndyCar, F1, NHRA and other racing organizations around the world. They have the skill and resources to make anything they choose to at the highest professional level. No matter how many various panels for PC's could potentially be sold (if they can even be sold on the idea) it still wouldn't be a drop of water in an ocean compared to the other things they already do. It's always worth asking though, the worst they can do is say no.

Cooler master used to sell exactly what you are trying to manufacture. Cooler master stopped manufacturing and selling any components for this case years ago due to lack of demand... Like you said the worst they can do is say no but no offense, there's only a couple dozen of us cosmos 2 geeks who still have this case and who would still spend money to customize this case. I have spoken with cooler master about this in detail about two years ago and I almost convinced them to manufacture a few additional runs of the glass and lexan and acrylic models but they said there wasn't enough customer demand to bother

I know I am incredibly, incredibly late to the table at this stage. I would love to get a clear door for my case. Any chance anyone can send me said file to get it cut? Thanks to anyone who can help.

Thanks for the response. It is a heck of a long shot but perhaps someone he sent the plans t could forward to me as well, out of mercy.

I just checked, the most recent visit to the site from a member who requested the file before the OP last visited has not logged in for 7 months and that was PcBuilderForLife (above on this page), if you are really lucky he may have e mail alerts on for TPU, so you could private message him in the hope he will receive an alert and visit again.

You can use a stock side panel as a template. If you don't need the bend in the one you want to make (that wasn't included in the home made one I saw) and have ideas of mounting it other than using the stock hardware just use a flat piece of the material of your choice. Personally I'd move the fan mounting holes and make metal reinforcement rings for mounting the fans for better strength. Having worked with Plexiglas before it's brittle and cracks easily when using thin sheets.

Due to ending up in the hospital with medical issues I had to cancel the appointment with the place that makes race car windows and body panels. I could reschedule but do to lack of interest haven't done it so far. My plan for a clear Cosmos II side panel involves using Lexan, the stock Cooler Master mounting hardware, the proper bend in the panel, relocated fans for better GPU cooling plus a few more tricks for a totally professional approach. I'm running mine minus the side panel and at the moment see no need for one.
