Performed Mods:
originally used an ECS motherboard. It was very stable but it had little support and was impossible to overclock. Saw the MAX mobo and fell in love with it, very nice. Just added a digital temp gauge to monitor case temps, for £4.99 off ebay - I couldn't resist it lol.
Bench results: 3Dmark06 - 9139 Counterstrike source (settings max, 1280x1024) - 319.79fps Company of heroes (settings maxed with high detail) - 120.9fps

It's pretty good. Get rid of the blue octopuss tentacles everwhere though, cable ties are great for this. 6/10

not needed m8 - the side plates have quite large holes in it and theres so much air it doesnt matter.

You would have to dremel the metal and it may reduce the strength of the case.

dont worry m8 - look at my temp gauges - the left one is top and the right is the bottom of the case.
