    Does anyone know where in the US I can purchase a full tower Chieftec side panel meeting 2 criteria:

    (1) It does not have a window
    (2) It does not have a handle

    If looking at the front of the PC, this panel would be the one on the right side.

    Thanks....

    The Chieftec/Antec design all have that horrid handle in them. Am working on eliminating mine as part of a case mod now. The best place to get a solid Cheiftec panel is Directron. Althought it has the handle. Your only other option is to fab one up yourself.

    Yes, as I stated,

    "(1) It does not have a window
    (2) It does not have a handle"

    This is the motherboard side. I want to find some place that sells these panels. Directron only has the handled ones...

    the left and right panels are interchangable, so just get a right panel and use it on the left... or are you looking to replace the right side panel? at any rate, whether you want it for the left or right side doesnt matter. just look for one on ebay or something, or go to a local computer shop. ask them if they have any of the cases that were damaged in shipping, they may give you a deal on one (i got my cheiftec cheap because it was dropped, the bezel was dead)

    I'm looking to remove the handled panel and replace it with a smooth panel with no perforations/windows/grilles, etc... to have plain panels on both sides.
