Can you provide cleaner pictures of the interior of your case? I have a hard time looking at your cable management.
I like the way your windowed side panel looks like though. Have you considered upgrading the fan to a larger one via bracket or something.

Its ok, can you post clearer pics (daytime) so we can check your cable management? cause its really hard right now. Anyways, have you ever thought of sticking to a specific color theme instead of multiple colored leds? My 2 cents though, it's down to personal taste really.

You can probably MOD the side panel to fit a nice 200mm x 30mm fan.
