When did you buy the case? MSI might still send you a new panel if it's still covered under their warranty. Contact them.

Ok, how did you break tempered glass?

Anyway, you could get an acrylic sheet at a hardware store and cut it to size, or custom order a tempered glass replacement with all the holes and such drilled from a local glazing company. Last time I bought a sheet of tempered glass to put on top of a counter, I was surprised how cheap it was.

Or you could buy a new case, take the glass pane, and put the rest of it on eBay or such. Might actually be the cheapest option depending on what you can get for it.

Glass panels breaking wouldn't be covered under any warranty.
Unless maybe it occurred during shipping, to which you'd file a claim with the shipping company in order to net you the $ to replace the panel, or the entire case.

I noticed an issue with the case's side glass is it has four holes that can break easy. So, I recommend acrylic sheet. It probably would require a special order for the new glass to replacing a broke glass.

I'd suggest:
this case is dirt cheap; either buy a new case, or simply remove any left over glass from this panel and replace it with acrylic that's been cut to fit. You can (at least in USA/CAN) go to a hardware store, pick out the material and have them custom cut it for you.

Why would they sell replacement panels for a $70 case.
Its just a glass panel with 4x thumb screws. This is always bad news and really dumb design.
Using real glass I always thought "What, really... people pay for this like its cool"
The best way to do a see-through panel is using Gorilla Glass. As it's not typical glass at all.

Glass with no hole would be better too.

Agreed, most of them end up breaking because of that design flaw. It was one of the things that the O11 Dynamic series of cases definitely got right.

I dropped the smaller front panel for my O11 Dynamic once and it didn't break, didn't even have a noticeable scratch on it at all (only fell little over 1ft from the floor) meanwhile other users have said that their glass literally exploded for no reason at all, just a flaw with tempered glass manufacturing consistency

I have XL 011 D, I barely noticed a dust inside too.

My father and I never make a hole on the glass for hold it. Yet, people still do that, I don't understand it.

Yeah that's a risky idea, the panel can shatter more easily

I get dust on my panels at the top, gets there from gaps in between my radiator and fans

I like Lian Li uni fan, but it is expensive.

Yeah, they're pretty expensive, I don't like paying more than 20$ CAD per case fan

The real issue I see is it's just glass with zero frame of any kind.
That makes it even more fragile.
When using a Case with a glass panel, when you wish to remove the side panel, lay the PC Case down so motherboard is flat, then remove the side panel. This is much safer means of doing it.

In my experience, even without a frame of any kind, zero hole glass is actually better than holed glass. Not just "a little improve".

Hi, same thing just happened to me bro. Could you tell me the measurements of the glass panel? Thank you!!
