Spray it all black(not the front, but interior and the back) put 2 120mm fans in the side, one left high, the other right low, and make a nice sidewindow between them.
(sorry for the crapy paint)
On top a 120mm fan.
There are 3.5"bay fan controllers for sale, maybe thats better than making an extra bay on top of the case, you will get big trouble with that front panel...
Maybe its nice 2 use red fans, and red paint on the front panel and top, making some kinda striping on it
Anyway, MOD IT!! (if you want to spend money on it)

2. Cut a window in the side panel. Awesome idea
3. Extend the side panel away from the mobo tray to allow better wire routing. No need for that, just make the wires as flat as possible, and tape them down on the back side of the mobo tray.
4. Cut another 80mm hole on the top for another intake. Exhaust goes up top, intake goes up front and/or on bottom.
5. Cut 2 80mm holes in side window for exhaust. See #4 above.

I had thought about Plasti Dipping my HAF932 but I didn't want to mess anything up, I could use this as my test on it so I learn wth I'm doing.
As for the fans, I had only been planning on 80mm so that I could keep the airflow the same easier and not have problems fitting the 120mm Fan up top as there isn't a whole lot of room between the PSU and Optical drives. But with a Fan controller I can get some loud high power 80mm fans to tone down. And yea, I should have exhaust on top and intake on the sides, that's really dumb of me to have had that backwards.
As for painting the outside of the case, I doubt Ill do more than the back at this point as the front is plastic and as odd as it is, its kind of nice in an old school kind of way.
But as for the side panels, the back panel that would cover the wiring only has like a hair of 1/4 of an inch from tray to panel which is why I wanted to "raise" it and give more room back there.
The 'red light' up top isnt even a light although that's a pretty badass idea actually. What it is is the housing for the HDD and Power LEDs but Ive got a better idea now, color changing LEDs, although the tinting will probably distort the colors.
As for the window, the design offered is an interesting one. Pretty much any design will do though, I'm not terribly picky about it, I may not do the one offered up though as I don't have any practice cutting metal
