dont always go by what people say. do what you think looks cool..

think of a theme jot down some ideas (since it also depends on your budget)

things you can do (the usual) make your own window, paint it, clone cdrom drives, add lighting and add more ventilation and you can even change the shape completely. its all up to you!.

what i find the easiest is look at other peoples mods for inspiration

oh and good luck

Ur usb's and audio jacks are on the bottom so would be a little hard to make a hole there for a fan depending what is behind the coolermaster badge.... I would try get some meshed drive bays to start with and definitely add a fan to the side panel at least... If its possible to cut a whole into the fron of the case for an intake would be a start but these are simple things just to improve ventilation, like said above it depends on the extent at which u are willing to go... Post ur ideas and maybe users here can fine tune them....

If you like lighting try making a Night Rider styl row of flashing led's on the front of you case, try to find some one way plastic to hide them behind, there are many circit diagrams available on google and instructables

just sand the plastic with a fine sandpaper (like 1000 grit) it would be enough to let light through but not make the leds or wiring visible.

but i still rate go look at some other mods, then post the ideas here that you would like to adapt to the case and we can always help you out.
