Take the double-sided window molding and use the smaller side of it to run along the case. The larger opening will be for the window.
Run the molding along the entire edge of the hole, you will probably have a little excess, which is good.
Use a razor blade or something else to cut it so the 2 ends meet. I would suggest cutting a few times in small pieces, you don’t want to cut too much and have a gap.
Now comes the tough part. I’m not going to lie to you, getting the window into the molding and having it stay there is a task. Go slow, be careful not to have one part slip out while your working on another, if you get frustrated take a break and come back to it later. It took me about 30 minutes to get it in right after trying a few times. It will be worth the effort when you are done. There is no trick to it that I have found after doing a few windows, just slide one corner in and work the rest in slowly.
After all my hard work and struggling I finally got it in. I decided not to use the locking strip because I felt it was not needed. The window was so tight it already wouldn’t move without the locking strip. I also was not able to get the locking strip into the gap, this is most likely because I cut the hole a little too close.
You will probably want to clean off the window because by now it has all kind of fingerprints on it. Take your door back to your case and slide it back on. You can now sit back and relax. Your window mod is now complete as you can see it looks really awesome, the picture does not do it justice .
Conclusion:
Now that you have your window installed I would suggest you tidy up your case if you already have not so that when people see the innards of your case they will be very impressed. Also you can add a cold cathode or neon from Best Byte to the inside and it will make it much more impressive. Again I would like to thank Best Byte for sending over this kit.
