Pictorial guide on modifying your PC's front panel with a stylish MeshX front air intake - Page 5
By Greig Mackenzie

Voila!

Little LCD panel and side mounted ports reinstalled and temporary cable management.

The bigger picture, behind the scenes. Now, see that little strip of missing plastic at the very bottom of the front panel. Originally that was only source of fresh air in the front--minimal capacity that has now been significantly increased.

Front view-Off.

Front view-On, full.

Next I need to focus on managing the wiring better and creating some form of ducting to marry the 120mm fan behind, with the two grills in front... and maybe some paint. ;)

The duct isn't vital but one way or another I want to enclose or clean up the area behind the basic little LCD which, by the way, displays disk activity, and temperatures via the attached wire probes (simple).
