I cut blowholes in cases all the time. I don't think twice about venting a case if it's necessary, and I don't think there is anything spectacular about doing so.
I'm tempted in my next project to go for an acrylic and carbon fiber built-from-scratch case and incorporate an internalized/dissected Prometia or something and combine that with some sweet azz mini-watercooling on the NB, GPU, and SB. When done I want it to be a demonstration model to show skill when looking for a job on the other side of the mountains (I may end up opening my own small PC repair/sales shop over there). The way I look at it, there are no props for halfway: either you do it right, or you don't do it at all. You cut a blowhole? Who cares! You added a simple lopro watercooling system in combination with a phase change rig all in a custom case and lit up all nice, that is something else.
Biohazard grilles a mod does not make, but to make a beautiful and functional mod is sublime. I guess that's what makes the difference for me: the mod must be either functional, or it must highlight a functional custom component.
