CPU case MOD

[s0124]

I have a compaq presario SG2070il CPU case. I want to mod this case ( I am kind of hesitant to buy a new one). I'd like to keep it simple and elegant. mostly black with maybe some red in it. I like straight lines, but still I'd like to make it different somehow. I need some ideas about the look and also any ideas on how i could be making changes to the front panel, it's plastic.

here is what it looks like right now.

All mod ideas are welcome, but I really need help on techniques to change the look of the front panel.

Thanks all!!

u can use steel mesh and netting for filters. can also use honeycomb and place an led fan behind it to create aesthetics.
