Not sure about modding

Hi guys.

I had an idea with my new mITX PC to mod it a bit. But I'm very indecisive, so I don't know whether I should do it or not. It won't make that much of a difference, but it will not be reversable.

 

Basically, I was frustrated with the low profile CPU cooler market. And I thought about moving the PSU in my Elite 130 to the front (mounting it with velcro), having my harddrive in a cooling box in the 5,25" bay (I'll do this either way) and putting a tower cooler on my CPU. Then, I would buy the fan filter kit for the case and use the filter for the front to filter the air sucked through the back by the CPU cooler. I also thought about making my own fan filters and mounting them with velcro.

I already have the PC :)

I just wanted to change it a bit. I planned to get some filters since I got the case.

I don't have a budget. There's a reason for that - I don't have any money... I'm just slowly buying parts that I'll need (a right angle power cord, a HDD cooler, velcro + filters and CPU cooler which I can't afford just yet).
