Fans!
Not too terribly interesting. Shown in the bottom picture, the hard drive bay fan can be angled upward a tad. This is nice as it will provide a more powerful airflow and get some extra cooling to the GPU, CPU, and mobo.
Also, if you look closely at the above snapshot, you can see that there aren't screws holding up the left side of the radiator even though there are ones in the middle and on the right. This is because the holes don't line up. I guess this is because the holes were made for the fans to be screwed on the top, which were meant to have some space between them so one could feed the lines through the rectangular holes, but that doesn't help me very much. I need to decide if I want to drill new holes in through the radiator (it would be a delicate, high risk task) or through the case itself and use more of the rubber fan mounts. They shouldn't have a ton of weight on them with the other four screws. It would be just to help stabilize it a bit and reduce the chances of the screws stripping and letting the radiator fall on my CPU, motherboard, RAM, and graphics card. The drilling into the radiator itself, though, would allow me to use the correct screws and improve stability... but these rads aren't very cheap so I guess I'll sleep on it.

Shit. Again. So those three columns of two rectangles you see are where the fan cables are meant to go. I could skip putting in one of the fans (the far right one has space to pass the cables through), but in the name of symmetry and balance, I will mod the case, yet again!
