Performed Mods:
I started with just cutting out all the fan grills and later lead to me cutting the side panel out for a acrylic window. I then cut a hole out for VGA cooling on the window and put a temporary 80mm fan then in future upgrade and cut a 120mm fan hole. I bondoed 3 of the 5 5.25" bays, from the outside of course :p, and cut another window up front in the face plate and put in a smoked out piece of acrylic with the name "TAZ" cut out to display it lit up when I get a 120mm fan put in. I painted it black, not the best job, its my first time in the painting field lol. Plus I remounted the power switch and power/HDD LEDs
The beige DVD drive is gone now with a black one, Its kinda hard to make out the "TAZ" in front

Nice window insertion mate! Very clean.
You have very nice cable management there.
Although, I can't see "TAZ" anywhere :( I'm pretty sure that looks pretty cool

Nice work you done there Bro, but I can see that this paint is a fingerprint magnet, i'm sure it's a pain in the A**.
about bringing out the TAZ you can use a Matt black paint or a lighter color around the edges, it will show.
