Dude, you're supposed to pimp your computer, not trash it down! I built a new case some months ago. Link2

Heh, actually you are supposed to _work_ on your rig, not pimp it (we are the lucky people, whenever we want to pimp something we always have some sweet HV thingie to do it on ;) ) - and also I'm one of those who agree with the fact of caseless PC design being the most usefull (less dust, less heating).
1. Remove the useless case fan - it's not doing anything but making noise in caseless rigs, better put it into some better use.
2. Attach the mobo to a wall, this will save much space.
3. Put the hard drives on some open surface so they'd have better natural cooling, probably fix them to a heavy object to limit the vibrations (yet I have mine unattached, just like most people do).
4. Depending on the power to be dissipated, you can replace your CPU cooler with a fanless heatsink, remove the chipset fan and put a big cooling fan on top of it all, covering both heatsinks. My friend used that concept - works nice and makes hardly any disturbing noises. If the rig is making more heat then that - probably try the water cooling.
5. Add a separate panel to make power and reset switches, leds and USB and other ports easyly accessible.
