I am planing to add a side window and possibly paint the case. I am looking for some suggestions for the top modders here I know there are some. What would be the best design for this case.
Thanks
I feel a little odd posting such a late reply but was wondering if you ever ended up modding a window or anything on your case?
I would definitely suggest cutting out a nice big square on that side panel and installing an acrylic window and some u-channel side molding to give it a clean professional look. If I were you I would make the cut so you wouldn't see the drive bays something like this:
Definitely do some sleeving with some MDPC triple braid sleeving like this:
I know sleeving is very time consuming so IMO if you want the best sleeve extensions I would get in touch with Mike at Lutroo Customs for the most beautiful and professionally done extensions:

He does custom work to your specs as well as paracord.
Great video guides over there also:

I see how the PSU is top mounted so you might consider fabricating some type of shroud to hede the wires and possibly drill or cut out some channels for the cables to com from behind the motherboard tray using grommets to give it a nice clean look.

plus there are a great group of guys there all willing to help you or make suggestions as far as modding a case.
Good luck and hope you have fun, please post some pics if you already got done and happy modding.
