Quick Answer

To set up your Capyzilla front panel, select the correct version for your MG-1 model, attach it securely, and follow a few simple care steps to avoid damage and keep it looking fresh.

Why Choosing the Right Version Matters

Capyzilla is available in two versions: one for the All-new MG-1 and one for the Classic MG-1. Using the wrong version can lead to poor fit or instability. Always check your MG-1 model before ordering or installing.

Common Setup Mistakes to Avoid

A frequent error is forcing the panel into place. Capyzilla should attach smoothly without excessive pressure. If it resists, double-check that you have the correct version. Also, avoid overtightening any screws or clips, as this can crack the panel.

Step-by-Step Setup and Care

  1. Identify Your MG-1 Model: Check the model number on your MG-1 chassis to determine whether you have the All-new MG-1 or Classic MG-1. This is printed on the rear panel or inside the case. Ordering the wrong version is the most common mistake. Confirm your model before purchasing.
  2. Unbox and Inspect: Remove the Capyzilla panel from its packaging. Inspect for any visible damage or defects. Place it on a soft, clean surface to avoid scratches. If you see cracks or missing parts, contact MAINGEAR support before proceeding.
  3. Attach the Panel: Align the Capyzilla panel with the front of your MG-1 case. Gently press it into place until you hear a click or feel it lock. Do not force it—if it doesn't fit, re-check the version. A common mistake is applying too much force. The panel should seat smoothly without tools.
  4. Clean Regularly: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe the panel. For stubborn dust, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild electronics cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads. Harsh chemicals can discolor or damage the finish. Stick to gentle cleaning methods.
  5. Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat: Position your PC away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Prolonged exposure can cause the panel's material to fade or warp over time. Keep your setup in a cool, shaded area to preserve the panel's appearance.
