Ok heres the low down. I have an old case not in use that i have been planning on modding. The plan was to replace the meshed side and top with clear acrylic with an etching on it. It was never a great case in the first place but i had added two sets of cold cathodes and some new fans to liven it up.
My brothers birthday is in 2 weeks and the case has been sitting in the corner for months so i decided i would do this window mod for his birthday. After looking into the case and stripping the fans etc away i found that the hard drive cage was detachable and that there where another 2 80mm fan ports there that have been un used. I then took apart the front panel and realized with some effort i could replace this entire panel. Currently the case has been striped down to its inside shell and all the useful parts removed from the front panel.
On the front panel is audio ports, 2 usb ports and a firewire which are attached to the same circuit board, a screen displaying temperatures and fan speeds, the power, reset, speaker and 2 leds with their own switch (their where 4 but 2 got damaged when removed)
Here is a manufacturers picture of the original case:
