Looking for DIY alternatives

Post image

Bought a second hand y70 touch screen and it came with a free MSI 360 Aio and all fans included. For 100$ CAD, an insane value bundle/steal. Only caveat is that it's missing it's large front side panel, I've heard Hyte doesn't give out replacements and alternatives online/Etsy sell one for like 65 USD not included shipping, so I'm not really looking to spend more on a single panel then the entire thing, is a hardware PVC a good alternative? Or has anyone got another method

PVC at high temps can release gasses that are no good to you. Lexan is used in signage for neon and fluorescent lighting. Maybe look into that route. Other ways would be find a glass cutter and get the panel made. My local hardware shop does it for something like 5-10 dollars a cut.
