Default Best way to increase cooling?

My case currently has 2x 80mm fans as exhaust in the back, an 80mm on the side as intake, and a 120mm fan in front as intake, but the airflow of the front fan is limited because there is no vent and it just pulls from the space under the usb panel. Here is a pic of my case, where would be the best place to mod it and install vents to increase my cooling and airflow?

Well if you have 3 spaces left for optical drives you can take that door off and put a 120mm fan in there. .. Or you could take the 80mm on the side and make the hole big enough for a 120mm .. Or take the 120 you have in the front and cut a hole in the side and put it there.. a cdrom disc is the perfect templet for a 120mm hole btw.
