Has anyone modified their Cooler Master ATC-210C to allow for better airflow and cooling? If so, I would appreciate some suggestions and possibly some pictures! Thank you!

I have the 220b-vx1 but I haven't modded it yet. What I plan on doing is buying a Praetorian and putting the front bezel on my 220b. Then depending on how good my cooling is from that I may cut a 120mm blow hole at the top. We'll see....

James, yes, the blowhole at the top could definitely be larger. And although it looks very cool without an inlet at the front, I guess optimally it would be better to have one, no?

As of now, I'm having serious airflow problems and to cope with the issue, I've attached a second fan under the blowhole fan with marginal results. I might have to go shroud happy, but there's not much more I can do. I've never cut cases up, however, and I'm not sure if I can successfully cut a 120mm hole in the top,

Also, interesting idea about the Praetorian front panel. Do you think you'll run into any airflow resistance because of the acrylic door? Keep me posted on your plans as I am curious how yours will turn out!
