Hi everyone, I'll be taking my NCASE to Quakecon this year as I replaced my Node 304 with it. A few years back, someone popped the side panel thumb screws off my buddy's computer and stole his SSD. Since then, we have used security screws on our cases during Quakecon. With the NCASE having no way of securing the side panels, I do become a bit nervous about what could happen. Has anyone ever needed to or found a way to secure these side panels?

Thanks for any help.

Your best bet would probably be to drill / tap the panels and use a typical security headed bolt.

I looked at mine with the idea of possibly jamming the clips of the side panel through the top panel / bottom but it's next to impossible to get to the clips to do that. Granted, you could probably cut away the frame where it's blocking them. But I don't know how well the plastic clips would hold up.
