be quiet!, the market leader in PC power supplies in Germany since 2007, announces a high-quality window side panel for the Silent Base 801 and Silent Base 601.

This allows consumers who bought a non-windowed version of these PC cases to upgrade. The elegant window side panel significantly enhances the appearance and enables a perfect view of the interior. Owners of a Silent Base 801 or Silent Base 601 can upgrade their case with this elegant and affordable side panel with tinted and tempered glass. Just like the original steel side-panel, the window side panel can be easily removed from the case by pressing a button on the back to enable fast and efficient hardware installation.

The window side panel enables a perfect view of the components inside the PC and significantly enhances the aesthetics of the system. To fully upgrade a non-windowed Silent Base 801 or 601 case to the retail windowed version, HDD slot covers for enhanced cable routing are available as additional accessory as well. Available on March 12th, the Silent Base 801/601 Window Side Panel will have an MSRP of €39 / £39 / $39.90.

As some reviews stated, defeats the purpose of quiet, as the panels have insulating material inside.

If the glass is thick enough it should work as good from a sound dampening perspective.

maybe they could do a doble glass solution with some rubber in between, that could work

Exactly and you don't even need sound dampening material in between. It's like a normal apartment/house window, if it's double then it blocks sound better than a single window.
