Upgrade to my gaming Thermaltake gaming cube PC case - modified front panel

[JonMyrlennBailey]

The front bezel was custom fabricated by a local plastics place. There is a custom air filter with black speaker grille cloth stretched over a 12" x 12" sheet of perforated aluminum painted in gloss black. This custom dust filter is sandwiched between the fabricated outer bezel and the inner framework of the original front panel which had its own metal grill and dust filtration material removed by me. This inner framework attaches to the outer plastic bezel with tiny self tapping screws on the inside. The whole new custom panel attaches to the chassis of the computer over the front cooling fan by pressing the dowels molded into the front panel inner framework into to the holes of the PC chassis. The metal trademark badge was printed by a name badge vendor online and is retained by corner self-tapping screws. Come warm spring or summer weather for 2025, a spray paint job in semi-gloss black is planned for that PVC front bezel.

Here is a picture of the computer with the former original front panel that is of a style that doesn't fit the aesthetic of an audio-visual center as well. It had rounded contours on the top and bottom edges with perforations in sheet metal making it look like the head of a giant electric shaver. The facelift gives the gaming box a boxy square style that seems to appear more like a typical AV component.
