On some pre-made windows the Trim hold it in, if you build your own window just use strong glue like liquid nails or something.

Silicone adhesive works great.
I usually go with double-sided carpet tape if using no edge-molding. If I'm using the edge-molding, I go with 3M double-sided foam tape due to the space between the window and case, from the molding.
I've also used rivets & bolts, all depends on the effect you want.

that directron stuff seems kind of expensive for molding. i guess you only use a few feet at more, but still.
i was actually coming to this section to ask almost exactly the same question. i want to put a window in the top of my case soon too.

Directrons' prices seem pretty crazy nowadays. $3.50/foot for molding?

after looking at lian li cases, I think they are a rip off. yes, its aluminum but you can get a chieftec Dragon aluminum with a window and more space for cheaper. What, exactly, do you get out of a lian li that you can't get from a regular chieftec.
