Are the dames in the front office demanding one of them newfangled autotelecalculograph things? Are you curious what the daddies and dolls down at the gin joint are on about? This is the case mod for you! Just a few quick prints and you can put the Ritz your MasterFrame! 

Printing and assembly: 

Print one of each of the panel files and two sets of the foot file. 

With some silk gold, transparent, and opaque filaments it should be possible to print either of the panels in one shot (if you have a very large print bed. For my test piece I printed them separately and assembled them after. The only really fiddly bit is the letters in the Cooler Master logo. The lighter green ‘clear’ parts are translucent filament printed face-down on a textured bed using Rygar1432's glass printing settings. The opaque parts are just printed normally using whatever color you like, or spray painted before assembly. The brass (gold?) parts are similarly printed face down on a smooth sheet and sprayed before assembly, though I imagine silk gold filament would look good without painting. To print individual parts and assemble them, cut them to half height (1 mm) in your slicer before printing, then assemble them on a sheet of 1 mm plexiglass with a bit of clear two-sided tape (or slow curing clear adhesive?). 

For the green side glass, use colored tinting film on the factory tempered glass. For the power supply shroud, a bit of thin two-sided tape to attach it to the factory glass. For the feet, a bit of glue to assemble after painting and VHB to attach them in place of the stock feet. To make the rest of the case gold I would use spray paint, but gilding is always an option.

Instead of providing a set of printable files for every possible use case, I have included a basic set of printable files and the STEP files that you might modify the model for your specific use case and printer size.

Random musings:

As you can see in the included sample print photos, the ‘glass’ parts really are quite clear, even with the frosting when they are in direct contact with something, but the frosting works really well with even a few mm of separation. I chose green because it is my model and no one can stop me, but blue would also be period correct and look great. There is also no rule that says you have to be period correct (or that a dog can't play basketball), go nuts, have fun. Glow in the dark filament would be neat, maybe with UV LEDs charging it from inside the case.
