Update: picked up some case fans for the case. I did a lot of searching and these are what I have come up with. Enermax TB Silence with blue LED. One of the main reasons I picked these fans is because of the mod that PEXON did in his EVOLUTION by PEXON thread and these where available at my local store.
These fans look awesome.
Here is one attached to the front panel.
Well, I thought I got a lucky break today when I was at the plastic shop. I found a piece of what I thought was clear acrylic that would fit the side panel in the scrap bin. I pealed back one corner to be sure it was what I wanted and purchased it. less than $4 so not a big deal. this evening I broke out the dremel, use the original window as a template and proceded to cut and drill the new piece. When I was all done I peeled the protective covering off and .......

It was frosted acrylic. What a bummer. Here is a picture of the side panel.

Shame about it being frosted acrylic

Good thing I did not spend a lot of money on this because now the acrylic is useless to me. I was hopping to find what I need from scrap peices because it will cost about $70 for them to cut me a piece to fit.

This is possible the final update to the Armor Redux Case Mod Log.
Here are some of the final pics of case put back together.
Here is a cover I made to hide the 5.25 drive cage.
(It is not as bright in real life)
I have to keep the frosted window for now, at least until I can go get a clear piece. Some of the additional finishing touches I plan on doing is adding a PSU cover to make cable management a little easier. I plan of creating a solid white plate to hide the 5.25 drive cage. I may even paint the black latches and plastic rivets holding the window on the side panel blue.
Please let me know what you think of the finished product.
Thanks for looking.

Looks great. You gave that case new life
Thanks alot for all of the good feedback. I am happy that the project turned out so good. There has a time that I just wanted to give up and throw the case in the trash, I am glad I did not trash it. Last night I put some hardware inside. The specs can be seen in my sig under main computer.

hello Sebar
glad to see your topic, I have the same case and want to use a corsair CH100 cooler, so I have to do what you did with the top of the case, but can't find a "dual grill frame" like you used - where did you get yours? Did you get it locally? I live in San Diego too!
thanks for your time
