well i'm not concerned with the looks so much but i now have an overheating problem because there is not a continuous air "flow"

Easily fixed. Get a regular fan, plug it in, aim it at your components and turn it on. This works better if you have a free A/C unit that you can dedicate to your computer. The A/C-Fan combo is almost unbeatable in terms of sheer cooling ability.

Woah! What did you do? or more importantly what did you system do to deserve that? Must have lost some major data or was just plain cranky eh?

I've had systems almost go the way of the mocking bird - off the 8th floor balconey!

I say forget it. Make a cool plexiglass one. Get some fancy color cables and jazz it up a little.

SOUNDS GREAT! How about making it semi-transparent, like a Mac case...

Creeping....I would get in touch with the manufacturer and ask if you could purchase a replacement, tell them yours is damaged.

Leave the side off and the ventilation is brilliant, on "The Beast" I can actually turn fans off due to the added ventilation (wahay, can hear the TV again!).

There was another thread somewhere in these forums about finding replacement parts for cases, I don't know where the thread is, but here's a link to the site: http://www.directron.com/casebezel.html
you case might be there, check out the black cases section to see if your case is there.
