Most other places have forums devoted entirely to modding, but it is rarely even mentioned here. Is your case modded?
If yes tell what you've done to it.
 
I have an Enlight 7237 with an HEC 300Watt power supply. So far I have "modded" it as follows:

--> added two blowholes (intake on side and exhaust on top) with 80mm case fans and plastic grills with filters.
--> cut away metal grill cover over lower front 80mm intake fan
--> replaced grill cover over upper rear 80mm exhaust fan with metal finger guard
--> drilled out vent holes in front bezel, making them approximately 4x larger
--> replaced green power LED and yellow HDD LED with 5mm Blue LED's
 
Added an 80mm and a 120mm to the side and had a blowhole (made one bad hole trying to make it 😱) but i took the fan outta that. I covered my blowholes with my Warcraft 2 and Warcraft 2 expansion set CDs and it looks pretty cool.
 
I once modified my case to put two 120VAC Radio Shack Fans, had them soldiered right to the P/S switch so I could turn them on and off... it did stay cool, but it was a little too loud...

Now my cases aren't modified
 
I've taken a dremel tool to the inside to increase the airflow. 🙂 I also drilled out all of the factory ventilation holes to twice their size.

Quite a few mods,

Put a special metal bracket that holds a couple large fans that blow directly over my Vid/Net/Modem/Sound cards etc. Added about 4 other fans, one i cut the case to allow an exhaust for the fan to blow out the back. Stuff like that, the fan holding bracket that comes down along side my cards is the biggest and took a long to time to fasten it in well and desgin it to not get in the way...
 
Modded Addtronics 7896-120 by Jim Hanson

PANAFLO's through out first of all

A 120 for intake, a 90 for the HD mount
TT-900 for the back upper area (2 90's for an exhaust system)
An 80 over the cpu area
A 60 for the backboard exhaust

Keeps my peltier setup nice and cool and the panaflos are nice and quiet.
 
I modded my best buddies does that count. MInes next btw. Just didn't get my sx1030b till a couple of weeks ago and was waiting for the other parts.
