Other than using a jigsaw, drill and a dremel, i don't see any reasonable way. I had the same issue with my HTPC's case, being a cheapo case which i got for free. It used to only handle 3 80mm fans, now it can handle 3 92mm fans and 3...

Why all the 1155 boards that have a x16 slot on the very top have a NF200/PLX switch??? As for how much it is, $130-$140 shipped.

Well, i've tried a couple Silverstone and Corsair PSU's before, and i'd go with Silverstone, out of those three you list. There's nothing bad with Corsair, but while good, the CX line is the most budget of their PSU's, and the...

The Q6600 is one of the cheapest quads for the platform, if you plan to OC it then be sure to get a G0 stepping. As another option, any Q9xxx CPU will do the trick. If you do want to OC a quad, you'd better get a better motherboard...
