i bought a box full of stuff , motherboard, memory , cpu, all for 10 dollars including this pc case in mint condition with power supply

it was a steal for the price and to be honest i love the design
the only flaw is that its missing a plastic piece on the front? does anyone recognize this design? i would like to know how it originally looks, maybe i can find a piece of plastic that looks similar and cut it.

looks like there was something covering the MHZ display area

I'd guess there was probably the same kind of plastic over the display as over the buttons so it would shine through.

Looks neat, and yeah, just sticking a piece of cut-to-fit plastic in the upper section would look alright. I recommend black, since matching white almost never works, due to yellowing, titanium dioxide level differences, and all that.

I have similar looking case. I'll do photos later.

very nice! it has like a look of 2001 space odyssey
now i need to find some type of transparent black acrylic plastic piece. I cant put any plastic there else it would cover the mhz display.

i have been tryint to find cheap components or parts where i can just get a piece of that plastic and so far i havent been able to find any
like old vinyl player boxes, or even printer parts with black transparent plastic.
