Window mounting: inside vs outside

tastegw · Dec 26, 2012, 01:37 AM

Which do you guys prefer?
Or does it depend more on the particular case to be added to?

Outside just looks like some lazy person tried to add a window and didn't even bother taking the side panel off.

Inside is much better IMO, i think the general consensus is inside is better. Really depends on the case!

It totally depends, the top pic in the OP looks great imo.

The best thing is of course to not have a windows at all.

I'm not much into led's myself, but I do like windows as long as its not messy or a bunch of diff colors all meshed together inside.

I kinda like outside mounted windows as long as everything is perfectly cut strait and even, though I've always mounted mine on the inside, go figure.

Thanks for the replies, gives some good insight.
