-Paint inside black with matte paint.
-Window
-Add a fan down there in the bottom by the PSU and give case some feet
Those would be a few of the more common mods...

ya i was thinking of painting the inside black
It will make things look alot better
1. Take it apart
2. Sand down everything lightly
3. Clean it off good with rubbing alcohol or wet towel
4. Let dry
5. Start painting
Primer is NOT needed if you make sure you sand it and paint with LIGHT coats
that case imo would look great sprayed Orange/yellow or red inside.....black outside as it is....and add a window.
It seems everyone these days sprays it black..it does look cool but....something diffrent is always nice.
I actualy considred spraying my Coolermaster 690....all gloss White.

Gloss white would look pretty unique, only problem i would have(around here) is it shows dust like a madman and my room is pretty dusty....well, actually any gloss color come to think about it.that case imo would look great sprayed Orange/yellow or red inside.....black outside as it is....and add a window.

Windows are designed to let you see inside
A lightning bolt might look cool but, defeat the purpose

Lol. I kind of agree with ScottALot. I would do a window. It gives you a chance to try something new. It would be cool if you painted the front grill white and then made that lighting bolt window and then top that off with black interior and some white cold cathodes. That would look kinda sick.
Bam! Look at those fans!

Its my friends computer and its some really wide heatsink (I forgot the name) but it gives you the ability to mount to 120mm fans on it.
Its the Gemin 2 by CoolerMaster.

Oh, you already bought it,didnt read your post correctly.nope fits perfect...
dont look at the dusty desk lol this pic is pretty old
Another idea is get rid of the tooless pci bays, and get some black thumbscrews, i got some of these for mine and they are nice for the price: (10 for $1.49)

Adding two exhaust fans to the top would probably increase airflow and drop case temps a bit.
