Side Panel for My Case
I just have a "Plain Jane" black Mid-Tower case. I would like to get a little "pizazz" into my computer. Is it possible to buy a "See-Through Side Panel" so I can put some lights inside?

It might be easier to buy a piece of lexan slightly smaller than the side of your case (so it will fit inside without hitting anything), and cut out the inside of the side panel, then rivet the lexan to it. Instant (fairly nice) clear side panel.

Depends on the case. If you have a cheap one (or one from a prebuilt), then I doubt it.
It might be a OEM only case. I.e, one you can't even buy from a store.

I still like the idea of cutting out a side hole and putting your own piece in.
The best part is that you could laser cut a design in it

You can purchase a nice new case with this feature for not a ton of money and then just transfer the system over, it may also give you a chance to get other features built in like a multi-card reader, usb and sata on the front. I too like the idea of the plexiglass but for you to cut that thin steel case accurately .....not so much! I would shop for a new case and be done with it !

This.
Buy a good quality case like a CoolMaster or Antec and expect to pay $100 or more. It is well worth it. I built my current rig in a CoolMaster Storm Scout I got for about $90. It was the first high quality case I bought since the early 90's and I love it.
NewEgg has them on sale right now for $80

There are others some larger, some with other colors or variations in board placement and arrangement. Shop carefully and get a good quality.
You won't regret it.
