Took the dremel to the front to allow more air to get through...

Then took the thing that snapped the fan onto there, and took the dremel to that to allow more airflow and to make it look cooler :)

Then decided it was time to mount the on/off button for the CCFF - i wanted it in the front, so i decided to put it in a spare 3.5" floppy bay....

just powers on the cold cathode.... accually toggles it between on and sound activated on.... which is nice.... i got that, along with a case from maxcooler.com - great deal... They sent me one to review for my site ReviewNation.com (http://www.reviewnation.com)

I have the same case as u, but I have a cheap window on the side with a 92mm side intake, also a 92mm Blowhole.

Did you make room for the front intake, on the outside of the case? by the USB plugs

Did you make room for the front intake, on the outside of the case? by the USB plugs as much room as i could.... in the future, i plan on puttin a few holes in the side of the front bezel to allow more air to come in, as well as expand the front intake to a 92mm hole... I then also plan to add a top blow hole to the top, and somehow add more cooling to the back of the case which lacks in the exhaust department....

I have videos of the sound activated CCFL that will be posted in the review when it is posted if anyone is interested......
