  • Replacement Top Panel for PC-K9WX

    I am currently modding out a pc-K9WX and expanding upon its case design. I would love it if someone could help me figure out what all top panels can work as a replacement for this case. I have asked around on (frozencpu) and their help is limited on compatibility. The reason I want to exchange mine out is since I no longer use the front IO panel nor power buttons (removed), I would like a panel top without these. I was also looking for one that has fan holes cut in the rear of it by since that is limiting I will settle for just a solid panel.

    The reason I am doing this is because after looking around at a lot of the cases on the market currently, they all come with way more than I really want in the case. Most of these cases have obstructions to airflow with multiple harddrive cages, massive 5.25 bay, and limited intake space in general. I have already cleared my 5.25 bay (bought an external Dvd burner) and placed a 120mm fan, soon to be 140mm fan, in the space. I am also planning to buy an acrylic piece for the front and cut fan holes in it so that I can mount it flush with the front replacing the original face of the pc.

    I am just now getting into modding after building pc's for years and years. I normally would just do clean builds with whats given and never push cases to their limits to make something unique. I really enjoy this cases, its all black interior, strong steel construction, and stylishly simple design. My plan is to shape this into a more refined and polished appearance by making these changes. I come to these forums seeking help on my search for this top panel since most other places might not have the specific help I think I can find here.

    Almost 200 views and no replies, the likes of which i've never seen. :D I see there is an official representative that frequents these boards and would love to hear back on this. Sitting the fence on upgrading unless I can mod this proper.

      Hi Xioticin,

      I apologize for the delayed reply. For the Lancool PC-K9 we don't have a top panel replacement with the characteristics you are looking for. However, we might have a similar top panel in some of older models. We are checking now for alternatives.

              Quick question, upon a little investigating, wouldn't a k63 top panel fit? It looks almost exactly identical. Unless under that plastic top exterior is a mess of holes lol. Its all possible with that step child

                Unfortunately, it does not fit. But of course anything is possible with modification. :)
