Case return?

[CallumRogan]

Today while cleaning thermal paste i split nail varnish remover (i couldnt find the professional stuff) on the side window of my Thermaltake Soprano with side window (black) and it has corroded the window where it was spilt.

The case is a little over a month old (got dec 10th) and im absolutely gutted that it looks a complete mess!

Can i return this? or am i stuck with it?

Thanks

Callum

Returning something you broke...that seems really wrong to me...

[CallumRogan]

i dno i just thort cos itrs so new the panel could be replaced?

[mac124]

Just get a bit of perspex / acrylic from a local hardware store, probably just as cheap and less hassle than sending the case back, which i very much doubt Aria would exchange anyway as it was your own doing that "broke" it.

Could be a good opertunity to do something custom to it, smoked or mirrored maybe with lights on the inside so you can only see in when its powered up??

[CallumRogan]

i dnt see how the perspex is attached though because its like inline with the metal casing! :S

also this case has catches on the window to keep it in place, doesnt screw on

[Micky007]

lol, no Aria will not give you any sort of replacment since you was the person who messed up the case.

[CallumRogan]

sorry was just wondering, is it at all possible to replace the side of the case (at a price of course), should i contact thermaltake about that?

[mac124]

There must be a way of removing the perspex?? Any chance of a piccy of inside and outside of the side panel please.

Edit, just had a look on thermaltakes website and by the look of it it has little rivet type things dotted around the window, remove these and i guess the window will come out? When its out use the damaged window as a template for a new home made custom window .

thanks mac, ill get some perspex from my local soon, if it doesnt work, im gna mod a coolermaster elite 330 with a side panel and use that

It would be like buying a watch and cracking the glass then taking it back for a refund.

So Aria def won't replace this.

Buy some mesh its cheap and easy to work with

I'm modding mine with mesh, already got the perspex off just need to get the mesh now.
thinking this will be better for cooling as gonna mount a fan on there too.

once done renovating my house, will post pics of system.

I'm wondering wether to get a fairly basic case or an antec 900 and mod it?

Or get an NZXT Alpha and leave it because it is amazing

[coiler]

antec 900

thank me later
