What to do with this case!

Thread Starter 
I have decided to mod this thing (for better, it cant get much worse), so what I am wondering is if there are any themes, or ideas that come to mind that I could use to mod this case!

Case: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1901962

The cheaper (price to performance) the better!

Hmmm.

Try and mount a big (>200mm) fan to the side where the window is. Will be silent and not too expensive.

Also try and prop a 120/140mm fan in front of the HDD trays?

I was thinking of cutting out the whole HDD rack, they can fit in a 3.5 bay, then cut out 2 of the 5.25 drives to put in a second PSU! I also plan to put in 3 120mm fans on the bottom (all blowing up, also great for future WC-ing) then in the open space between the two PSU's will be a 120MM Fan blowing out I will also keep the back 120mm fan blowing out. I also am planning on meshing the front 5.25's and the 3.5's drive covers.

Tell me if you would change anything...

I agree totally. I have recently done a mod like this. I have not posted it up on this forum yet but may. Here is a picture of the inverted motherboard in an Armor Jr case.
