If I'm right, you want one big, and one small fan right? Well I think you should go for something more symmetrical to complement your symmetrical window design. Something like this:

It looks like he already is using 2 small fans...look closely and you will see the hole cut out and the small holes for the screws.

Looking good...I like the nice clean design. I never did like handles for personal reasons (I would never need to carry my PC around like a bag of luggage) but they look good on your case.

looks good!....the only thing i may have to add is....
are the handles going to be used alot?
if so, you may want to consider reinforcing the mounting of them.
it would suck if you went to lift the case and the metal that the handles are mounted to bent upward,peeling away from the plexi.

Well this is indeed odd... looks almost just like the window etch I had lokie do for me about 2 or 3 months ago that I have not had a chance to get in the case yet... (the twizted over it is just a watermark)

Interesting indeed?? But it is just a fluke, Twisted you or I have not posted picks of your window. And where did you get your image? The internet is a wonderful place I'm just glad some of us Pimps have the same tastes.

OK !! tcg_chris looks cool a little out of proportion and I think you should be using 1/4 Plexiglass for strength for the top. That is if you want the handles to be effective. Thosse little grills look cheesy next to that tribal grill, wich i might add is very sweet. Nice work bro.
