    Re: Cutting a side panel into a case.

    You can try local builder supply merchants, not soo common any longer but they still exist.
    fleabay, it can take some hunting some times.
    modding pc e-tailers like http://www.chilledpc.co.uk/shop/ and http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/
    1st class postage is not too bad
