Seeing the work you were capable to do with the window logo and/or the side panels, would it be so hard to get a template with the letters into a red-paper sticker sheet? That way you wouldn't void the warranty at all.
:
You could get a vinyl sticker to cover it with red letters....might cost $8 for me locally to get that small of a design printed.
Hmm, thats an idea but I doubt I have anything like that in my crap of a town but that is tempting.

Your build has had me seriously considering an XB. I miss having a window and the airflow would be really beneficial for my system. Ambients in my NZXT H2 aren't great during load. A build doesn't really need to be flashy or heavily modified to be appreciated here - Just clean and aesthetically pleasing, which easily describes your rig.
I think it's a lot custom, the painting and decorations that you added are really that. I see lots of talent in the art-work, yours are looking so professional, I wish i could do it instead of cutting/drilling some holes and to glue/fix things
The HAF XB really got me ... next case is gonna be one of them. Really jealous
Btw, I see in your sytem specs 4.6GHz out of a 2500K with stock voltage. Mine was fully stable (Prime95 and IntelBurnTest) @ 4.1GHz with 1.236V, I thought 1.248V were ok for 4.2GHz (still in my specs) but after Prime and IBT I see that's really requesting 1.260V to maintain that freq with 1600MHz RAM. So, what's the stock voltage that your BIOS is applying?
