Very nice, I like that case.

So as promised, here's my mini-mod I did this afternoon.

Problem: 2 open 3.5" drive bays.
What I don't have: Money.
What I do have: an old car speaker grill, an extra fan grill, some rubber cement, some tin snips and a brain.

So I got to thinking last night on how to fill that gap, looked around my room for awhile, and came up with this mod:

Not the cleanest mod, but it works and it looks pretty damn good if I do say so myself. It's actually functional too, air is sucked in by the two back fans.
 
Your gonna need a bigger power supply with that mod. That old car speaker grill came from a '48 Plymouth I believe. You need one of those sun visors from a '53 Chevy on there. Or at least tinted glass. I'm going to post pics of my rig when Cannon sends back my Power Shot 300. Manufacturer defect. I'm expecting the good people over there to send me a better model with a little more power to it's shot. Mine took great blanks and I'm sure you don't want me to bore you to death with those 100% blacked out shots. Your case looks good with the rubber cement and all. I'll post my mine soon.
 
I enjoy seeing pictures of other's rigs and case mods, so I'm creating a thread for anyone who wants to to post pictures of their rigs and cases, and answer/ask and questions anyone might have. I'll start.

nice rig man, i love the orange-ness =D

and what brand is that 20x burner?!! can it even go up to 16x 0.o

Nice colours really, it makes for a change. I don't know why but most fan case with led end up being blue. I know there are other colours out there but they are not used that often.
 
Where do you guys get your colored fans from? I'm looking to get a 900 and replace the blue led fans with RED ones...
Ancient_1,You rig looks like how i wanna make mine but without the water coolage :) -cool pc btw

Well, it would seem my rig doesn't hold a candle to the majority of yours. Then again, the dust and wires don't help either. Here are some pics, specs in sig:

Here is another:

And a picture of the insides:
