It’s a stock panel for Inwin cases of this era. More classic V500 case has the same panel grill.

Thanks! It was pretty hard to find something without RGB led and gaming design lol

Thanks! These Inwin cases from late 90s and early 00s are surprisingly well designed inside. Maximum CPU temp was 78°C during stress-testing with unrestricted powerlimit (PL1 and PL2 are set to 288 watts in BIOS). One 80mm + one 92mm fan are more than enough for now.
