What model Apevia do you have? I have the X-plorer and I did this to it.
(120MM fan in empty 5.25 bays)

You could always figure out a way to get good cable management inside. Once you do that, please tell us how you did and share pics! These are some of the tougher cases to perform good cable management with.

That's actually a really nice mod with the mesh on the front allowing air to travel pretty much straight from the outside to the CPU heatsink especially if you have a horizontal front to back flow.

Actually, its not mesh I added. Its a mesh door that covers the cd drive. Here are some hi-res pics attached of it I just snapped. Ok not so Hi-res. Couldnt get them the right size and maintain proper file size so 1024x768 has to work.

yeahhh.. dont have the tools. owners of the tools needed them back. so wasnt able to do it :[ i did do a little mod tho. i cut two smalll holes on the mobo tray right under where the usb/firewire ports are on the mobo. makes cable management SO much nicer without those front panel cables runnin across the floor of the case
