Default Centurion 5 mod ideas?

While my rig is down I thought I would do a little work on my case... except I can't think of what to do to it.

What are some ideas for mods to my case?

Thanks.

A fan hole on the top would be cool.

One other great idea is for cable management. The centurion 5 is already a great case to cable manage, but you can make it better. Drill holes in the motherboard tray by the 20 pin connector, so you can just string it behind the mobo and through the hole. Make holes in different areas of the motherboard to hide the cables behind the tray. It looks so good after.

I've actually been trying to think of some modding ideas for my centurion as well. If you haven't already, you could always do a quick paint job on the inside.

Blowhole
Window(s)
Lighting (UV or Cold Cathode)

UV is cool as you can paint (or use pens) the caps and other components in the case to make them glow.

I'm thinking about trying to get a 120 in the front.

Here is a mod that I did on an old Antec case:



I super-glued the fan to the stock bay covers after I had cut them to size:



It helped my struggling CNPS9500 a lot... and since it was mounted to the stock bay covers the unit snapped into place (no other hardware needed).

Ooo, were you going to put the 120 in the extra HD bays? I've always thought about doing that, might be kinda loud though.

I was either going to try drill some holes and replace the 80 or like syrillian did and put it in the 5.25 bays. If i did the drive bays i would put it behind grates because i really like the look of the front of the case

I already have a side window, I like the interior paint idea, would high-gloss red look good?

And I think I may try to put a mirror on the bottom, that would look awesome.

And the cable management idea is really good too.

Rep for everyone!
