Nice Job!! 😀

Now you just need some rounded cables to clean up the inside a little bit, and some LED fans would be a nice touch 🙂

Looks nice 🙂 Definitely go for some rounded cables.

I used some screen door material (leftover from a repair kit) and taped it over the openings at the bottom of my enlight side panel, and it catches a lot of dust! You can also put some on the inside of the front bezel. It doesn't catch all the dust, but it definitely helps! Someone also mentioned dryer sheets in another thread, but i've never tried that.

With the window your dust will show up even worse 🙁
 
Mattlock: I've never seen modded Enlight side panels sold anywhere. On the other hand, the Enlight 7237 is an extremely easy case to modify. You can see some pics of mine here.

You can also see how my grandson put a window in his case late last Summer. (He was 13 then.) He doesn't have an Enlight but he did use a window kit from PCMods.

Feel free to PM me or e-mail me if I can give you any tips on modding your Enlight.
 
Mattlock: To respond to one of your questions, I'm from the jigsaw school rather than dremel.

Along with the window in the side of my case I snipped away enough of the metal housing in the lower front of the case to accomodate a 92mm fan. I also cut a blowhole in the front plastic bezel with my jigsaw. It worked for me but I'm not sure if it would for everyone.

The jigsaw easily cuts through the plastic. The downside is that the blade's friction heats up the plastic just to the point of melting. As you move on, the plastic quickly cools, fusing behind you.

So, you have to make each cut several times and in the end you have a hole with hard molten edges. One could sand the edges smooth but I'm not that patient. I just covered everything with a grill and black fabric cover. A couple of 4-inch neon lights from Autozone looki slick glowing behind the cover.
 
Dan, do you have a pic showing the front of the case?.. I am not sure I'm following you. (newbie here)...
