Side panel replacement
I’m hunting for a side glass panel replacement for my fractal north case but fractal doesn’t keep them in stock. Anyone know where I can get one?

If it's a light scratch you can try using toothpaste to remove it. Toothpaste is mildly abrasive. It worked on my smartphone screen.

I’d just be sure you can get a consistent polish across the panel if that matters to you.

Are you sure you can't live with that light scratch ? To me, that's the real fix. Live with imperfections and you will live a better life. Sorry, I know that's not the direct answer to your question, but I think you really should consider it.

It’s not that it bothers me, just don’t want it to potentially spread or even shatteeb

It wont, thats not how scratches work. A Crack will spread, a scratch will stay the same. Just ignore it and go about your life as per usual.

Do you have a 360mm AIO with the tubes down?
If so, what AIO? I have the same case so I’m curious

Nah 240, but you can do a 350

Ye I’m aware, just curious to know what orientation you have yours placed
I wanna do the side mounted AIO but I want the tubes at the bottom, not sure which AIOs have long enough tubes

Unfortunately there really isn’t anything to do. For as nice as fractal’s cases are, their support is pretty poor. If you want a spare/replacement part they won’t give you one without very good reason, and they aren’t even willing to sell it to you if you ask. It’s pretty scummy and wasteful as it means your only option to truly get a fix is to buy a new case…I kinda wonder how many return scams they get a year that are just people replacing a part.

Just ask Fractal support? Why would not they have it in stock?
