Though a lot of work is put into customising PC cases, keyboards, and even GPUs, the humble side panel is surprisingly overlooked, given the real estate. I suppose this makes some sense, as glass is designed to be looked through, but a gorgeous stained glass-style makeover has convinced me we need more tempered glass customisation. User Nososochek took to the PCBuild subreddit recently to show off a deer illustration that they've been creating for two entire months. "This process took me six to eight hours a day for two months," they explain, "as it required a lot of effort, focus, and patience ... The slightest mistake, that wasn't corrected within the next five minutes, could lead to further serious problems with the correction."The principle is that they were looking for a creative project, and stained glass being "aesthetically ornate" with "a lot of details", provided them a creative challenge. "I wanted to choose a nature theme and considered many different animals, but a composition with a deer or a bird looked the best," they tell me. "That's why I chose such a magnificent and luxurious animal."I'm also told the process requires special stained glass paints and the purchase of custom glass to replace the tinted glass traditionally used in their PC case. The outline of the custom design is a specific mould for stained glass, which is placed on top of the tempered glass.
