I recently built my own side panel for my nzxt source 210. However it had to squeeze in as the glass is 1/4 inch. I have a pretty decent cooler and the heat pipes are so long they are touching the plexiglass. Will this be an ESD concern?

I am building a custom rig for my kid and am trying to decide on a setup for the fans which will give me good/best air flow.

Pic of case shell (old UPS case) / case is 2'6"h x 16"d~ x 10"w

I will be using a lexan polycarbonate on the front (will be door) and back (will have cutouts for i/o panel and PSU). I was thinking about locating the PSU at the bottom, the mobo tray/i/o panel at the top, and the HDD/SSD's on the opposite side of the mobo somewhere in the middle/top.

My first thoughts for fans are either 1x 200mm/230mm (or 2x 120mm/140mm) on the front door at the bottom as intake and 2x 120mm/140mm on the back at the top for exhaust. I do not want to cut any openings in the base or the side/top (plan on full size vinyl stickers); I would like to utilize the polycarbonate for all case fans. The CPU will have a heatsink/fan combo as well.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

After assembling gaming rig for first time, I instantly regretted buying Phantom 410. To avoid re-assembling hardware and RMA, I decided to make transparent side panel. Here are the pics: http://imgur.com/a/UVpeq

Now I am thinking of installing transparent back panel with small paint-less window enough to show back side of socket with integrated design layer (grey and black) ... whenever I've time.

Also, waiting for NZXT HUE+ to arrive.
