My case has no thermaltake in front but a dragon :eh?: ..

I have that same case. I took out all the bells and whistles I didn't need. For example, the crappy fans, fan brackets, PCI card plastic locking clips, the I/O panel on top, the front door, the HDD bays, that side fan panel holder (purple thing). Than i took a dremel to all the stamped fan grills, put my HDD in a 5.25 bay, replaced the 2 intake fans with 80mm tornados, and replaced the top fan with a 92mm tornado (required a little modding), pretty much took out everything I don't need and made it better.

P.S. If you hesitant about taking out all 7 of the fans, don't be, they suck. My temps dropped 10C when I switch those 7 fans out for 1 80mm tornado.

I also took out the hardcano 9 and thats where I put the HDD cooler and HDD. I took the thermal sensor off the hardcano and modded it into a 5.25 bay cover.

The largest thread ( by far) in the "Cooling" section is called "Modding Xaser".
Bound to be some ideas you can snake from there....
