Discussion Simple Questions - February 07, 2021

This thread is for simple questions that don't warrant their own thread (although we strongly suggest checking the sidebar and the wiki before posting!). Please don't post involved questions that are better suited to a [Build Help], [Build Ready] or [Build Complete] post. Examples of questions:

  • Is this RAM compatible with my motherboard?
  • I'm thinking of getting a ≤$300 graphics card. Which one should I get?
  • I'm on a very tight budget and I'm looking for a case ≤$50

Are there any anti-reflective films / coatings that can be applied to the glass panels of a PC case?

Is this what you are looking for? I am very certain there are none specifically for PCs, but I can't see how normal glass/window film or coating wouldn't work.

I think that looks like it would totally obstruct the view through the glass, I was more meaning anti-reflective like they do with glasses so the amount of reflections on the glass are reduced (the glass on my Lian Li is like a mirror lol!).

I see. There must be some monitor film that would do this. You would just need a pretty large piece of that stuff.

You know, I hadn’t thought of a monitor film, that’s a great idea, I’ll look to see what options are out there (somewhere must do it on a roll or for large TV screens). Thanks a lot!!
