I see lots of modding potential. :)

If I got one of those, I'd take out that huge grey plastic chunk in front of the intake, and put some wire mesh in instead. I'd also repaint the whole thing, cut out the stamped fan grills . . .

You can buy those from www.coolcases.com - i recommend them and all the standard dirty work is done for you, leaving you to focus on aesthetics when you're modding rather than doing what every owner of this case has already done :p

All you need to do is remove the bar, paint it and stealth your drives and that would be a kick ass case. Looks like lots of room in the bottom for a 6x6 rad/shroud. $72 seems like a good price too. :)

I noticed that coolcases does not mod the front panels of any case they carry. Some panels look really restrictive though...

Also I found their prices pretty steep. The modified Lite-On FS020 rings in at $273(!) excluding heavyweight shipping. That is with the existing 120mm mounts slightly modded (grills removed, mounting system in front), forced-choice 120mm fans, some grommets and finally a mediocre Enermax PSU and wheels that I personally would not care for much.

Like the site and the work looks solid, but it has its drawbacks.
