A new front? I want something to look good not a new front lol. Its kinda messy inside.

I like how people put wires behind their motheboard but there is no chance im rewiring it.

It took like 4 hours with all them stupid single pin connectors. I still cant get the post beep sound to beep lol

Hiya.

Hmmm.... I think that I would start by working on the wiring. You would need some zip-ties and perhaps some self-adhesive anchors, but I think that you could get them for only a pittance, or perhaps free if you know where to look and who to ask.

I realise that you don not have a window, but "out of sight, out of mind" is not a motto that I care to emulate....

You could also paint the inside of the case. In so doing you would be providing yourself with the prime opportunity to do a full re-wire job.

You could also add a window. Can you get a clear piece of plastic that is relatively scratch-free? I have cut window holes in cases useing tin shears.... slow going, but with care it can be done with nice results... and no power tools required...except to drill the holes for the mounting hardware.

If you did add a window, you could cut a hole in the plastic and mount the fan in it.

You already have a lot of cool-looking lighting, a window would show that off nicely. And, a "floating" side panel fan would be da bomb!

Definatly the wireing needs sorting. Maybe ill put it under the mobo. I just dont fancy cutting my case up lol.

As for a side window the only place it can go in on the right of the fan which would be right by the harddrive slots, so it would be kinda pointless lol

The case is nice as is but I would say paint the silver parts metallic blue or your favorite color.

Well in that case I would say go to your local hardware store and find some round brushed silver color drawer knobs and use them as feet for the case (seriously) they would compliment the other silver parts.
