wich other improvements should i make on my case?

thank all of you for your time.

lol k on a more cereal note, the side fan is kinda useless unless your running sli/xfire move it to the bottom or to the cd bay area and you will get better air flow in the case. post a few pics so we can help you more and welcome to the most epic thread that may just have the most uses of epic in any of the threads on overclock.net

i have been reading some interesting posts on here for a few days and have seen some VERY nice CM690's. Good job from everyone that has modded their cases. Anyways i would like to be added to the list. Got a slightly modded Cooler Master CM690 Nvidia Ed case. i cut the hole at the bottom for power supply cables to run through, i also cut a small hole in the 3rd drive bay and on the right side so i could route all fan controller wires and fan extension cables through there to make it look somewhat cleaner. i also painted the inside black as well as the inside of the right door cover. hated looking in there and seeing a silver back of the door(panel) while everything else was black. also painted the front cover behind the mesh (nothing new i know)
anyways here it is, nothing special really. really built it to give to my son after i overclock the new EP45-UD3P...

why the floppy? not entirely sure just yet. i had an asus p5n32e-sli pop and blow up, so i transferred everything to a new case with a new board.
and the hard drive will be moved down, i actually got this thing running yesterday and got in a hurry after cable management was done. will move drive down, will mount the Antec Tricool on other side of drive cage, clean up wires to cold cathode and hide everything. plus im butchering up an Ultra Aluminus so i have a lot of aluminum from it thats already black so i may add a cover to hide the wires at the bottom of the drive cage..

oh and hello neighbor. !!

If I didn't have a fan controller in the 3.5" bay, then I'd have a floppy drive there. After all, it's all about the appearance.

Well, to be honest - and I hope he doesn't see this - I think that the OP could be improved a lot. It seems like everyone misses it.
