Could I leave the back panel off? I want one of them to fit around a wall outlet.

Yep, the assembly instructions state that the back panel is an optional decorative feature that can be left off.

I had no idea you were supposed to move the coverplate until I saw these answers! I just plugged it in over the outlets and put the screw aside bc I didn't know what it was for... (heh) It works perfectly fine but I'll fix mine now. Thanks for asking this question & thank you everyone for your answers!

I would think it depends on how you mount it. Using the hardware it came with, mine sits slightly off the wall. My guess woukd be that it would fit over outlet covers.

You need to have the back panel on the unit but can cut pieces out for cords and such.

You have to take it off the wall to do this - a two person job for me since it was already hooked up. My panel had a small gray round plastic cover by the digital unit. I took out the screw and there were two "dip" switches underneath it. Both switches in the on position changed the temp to F.

You can tuck them in behind the powersupply in between it and the HDD rack or inside the HDD rack unused space if any. If you get a windowed side panel you are not going to want it to be the right one, or you will have wires showing. Left would be fine though, and you could hide most wiring fairly well. I don't think you gain much from going modular with this case as to plug almost anything in you need to pull the PS anyways. May as well just have everything hooked up.

You can remove the screw, no problem. Its only be use for tighten in ac outlet purpose only. BUT, keep in mind, you have to not use too heavy adapter to plug in, Other wise it fall off from wall. Let me know for further assistance. Thanks, "Ram green art"

It was a tight fit, but I was able to insert a 3 pronged plug into the second wall outlet. A 2 pronged plug should fit nicely.

I don't see why not. I included pictures of the back as well, the problem I think you will have is making sure that the solar panel gets light. If you got that covered. Then should be no problem.

If you plug into a wall socket you can use the second wall socket with no issue. If you plug it into a power strip it will take up two spots unless you use the very last one on the end of the power strip. Hope this helps :)

Physically, yes you can BUT building codes prevent you from running usual appliance power cords through walls , I guess they are not rated for in-wall use. I've had to have an electrician install a (sunken) outlet behind the TV. IMHO it's worth the expense for peace of mind.

If you are just trying to get your cords out the back, it might be better to leave the back piece on and drill a two inch hole to pass your cords thru. This would allow for more or less complete structural integrity.

I agree with the previous comments -- you can but I wouldn't. Note that when you install this with the screw, you remove the cover plate and replace it with this (that's why it has a screw in the middle to hold it in place). When you say you have designer outlets are you referring to the plate or the actual receptacle assembly? The plate might not have a center hole, but I've never seen a receptacle that didn't have one (I don't know what your designer outlet is so maybe I'm way off).

you could cut the flex watt, just remember to tape off the ends on each or you risk having a fire/shock hazard.

Yes! A power strip with 4 outlets fit in the back and it nicely hides the cords and just the power strip is plugged into the wall.

You have a couple of questions here- let me attempt to answer the first. Don't believe the design would allow for you to mount directly over an electrical outlet since it is designed to fit flush to the wall. Understand why you want to hide the wires. In lieu of recessed outlet you might consider a spacer board (cut to the size of the mount and around your outlets) to give you a solid mount and a way to connect to outlets. Good luck!

Not sure what you are trying to do there. A wall plate wouldn't cover it, but the connections are in the back so you can't see them anyway. I have mine set up under my TV and the wires all come from behind it so they're out of view.
