For those who have noise issues with the honey comb on any fan placement, a cheap solution prior to cutting them out is to buy screen (like porch screen) from home depot/lowes and place it in between the fan and the honeycomb. Kills most of the noise, and on the side panel acts as a dust filter on some minor level. I even used black pantyhose on one (gf wasn't too pleased LOL) and it completely killed the noise. Just some ghetto fixes for you budgeteers. As soon as I start modding my case I'll put together a log...

check, yah I guess every little bit helps! Since I will be having like 7 120mm fans, a little less noise couldn't hurt!

how hard is it to ghost the optical drive on this case and what materials/tools does it require?

I tried ghosting one of my drives, but the way the covers clip in to the front panel, I saw no easy quick solutions.
I put 2mins of thought into it though.
It's probably possible..

Most, or all are doing it themselves, but I do believe they have one out now don't they or did they not ever put that out, can't find it anywhere.
