Is it Aesthetic AND functional?

OK....planning on doing a little more to my case, but I just need some opinions.....

Current mods:
Front:
HDs are a little warm.

Right Side:

Back:

Left Side:

Currently nothing. Thinking about venting to the RAM, should it intake or exhaust?

So what do you think? Too much? Ineffective? Obviously I'm not concerned about noise. All I have are 80mms at the moment. Don't plan on buying anymore fans for a little while (until I start the bong project - but that'll go in a different forum).

How many HDD do you have? If you have like one or two, you could mount those in the two 5 1/4" bays under your CDROM drives. Then you could either leave the bay covers off OR drill some nice looking holes in them and have the HDD get plenty of air from your cooling system inside.

BUT that is just me

Personally, I would do one more fan in the front and one more in the back. Doing all of them, IMHO, is just overkill and creating a noise generator. Your call though.....
