I'd take number 2, because that's what falls into my eye best.

Honestly take what you feel looks best...

Make sure you sandpaper the hole, and then put some U rubber over it to avoid sharp edges. Put some grease around the newly drilled hole, and then screw your computer, screw it hard. Maybe install some UV lights and turn em up to indicate that your computer is also excited.

thanks for the quick response, i thought number 2 looks more subtle and easier on the eye, but case 1 is more in your face, i dont know which to choose. Have to start a poll

#2 looks a bit sharper. It also looks like it has more airflow due to the fan in the front.

#2
I'm a bit more conservative but that is just me so that is the reason behind my choice based on the outward appearance.
What is also important is the inner workings design but that is not all that different in either designs.
