Nope. Have to get that custom made or just cut a piece of perspex from your local hardware store. -

HG Osmi Build
@K888D I noticed you have the Gigabyte 1070 Mini in your LZ7 case (excellent info in that thread). How important would you say it is to leave the exhaust point on the end of the GPU uncovered as shown here? Because best I can tell the Osmi completely blocks this exhaust point on the GPU... -

HG Osmi Build
A quick check confirms that setting the exhaust to max seems to have negligible effect on the GPU at high temps. It does however influence the CPU and of course the internal system temp. One downside of the Osmi is that the case blocks the exhaust on the front of the GPU completely which is a... -

HG Osmi Build
Do you know if it allows for a combination of inputs like if CPU hits 70C or GPU hits 60C chassis fan goes to 100% for X mins? Thanks for the tip! That made a huge difference. Lost about 20Mhz and temps went from about 76C to 81C. Heheh, come now, I learned from your build :) I replaced the... -

Here're some temp measurements. Idle (silent): After an hour of FurMark GPU + FurMark CPU burn test (sounds like a hair dryer): One thing that bugs me is the fan curve of the be quiet fan: Which means the fan speed varies like so: I'd expected a much smoother fan profile, instead I see... -

HG Osmi Build
Well...finished, took all day and into the night. Quite possibly the trickiest machine build I've ever done. First things first, dry fit of the be quiet Silent Wings 3 fan and the ASRock mainboard. It's a tight fit for the mainboard and you really have no clearance either side: Dry fit of... -

Might be a bit late for you, but here's a lot of information about the fan curve for the SF450 and SF600 power supplies: http://thermalbench.com/2016/06/17/corsair-sf600-sfx-psu-cablemod-configurator-replacement-cables/ -

Very cool to think that you can basically fit a Bluray drive, a 2.5", a 3.5" and a M.2 solid state drive into one of these cases. Probably weighs a tonne after everything's squeezed in there though! -

Have a look at this pic below. On the right side of the pic, about half way down the black sheet metal of the case you can see a cluster of eight holes. Very deliberate arrangement, wonder what they're for... -

Trying to remove the screws in the base of my case to put the Gigabyte 1070 in. They are tight as hell! Didn't want to strip the head so haven't forced them. Did you find that too? Also isn't the large hole in the bottom front of the case big enough for the Gigabyte to slide in? (mine hasn't... -

@Vitamin Moto how's the build working out? Any issues or changes to report? If doing the build again any changes you'd make? -

HG Osmi Build
History repeats itself. In 2003 I gave up waiting on a decent Opteron board and bought a Xeon system instead. In 2017 I'm going with a Z270 Intel setup after seeing the lottery that is buying an AM4 ITX motherboard. Ordered the following: Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty Z270 Gaming-ITX/ac PSU... -

Good excuse to buy the new Flir One which just came out... :) Indispensable tool for any PC builder. -

HG are pretty accommodating. Could ask them to make you one as a one off. Doubt it'd be cheap though and as @Vitamin Moto said - the thermals would likely suck. That said it'd look pretty epic with some RGB LEDs in there... -

Mine's matte white. I've seen glossy in both colours, a perforated black one even. Guessing there's some sample variation out there between manufacturing runs.
