it should be possible, as long as you think before you cut. (hdd cages and such are oftenly a structural part of the case)

Hello i wanted to MOD my 230T I want to Remove Hard Disk Cage and CD rom Cage so i can add more Fans inside for better Air Cooling is it Possible?

Thanks

You can do that but will require drilling out the rivets holding things in place, you might also notice a bit more flex in the case since those parts do help keep everything rigid.

I will help with airflow, one thing you probably want to do is get some meshed front bay covers. To install the fans you could get an adapter or zip tie it in place.

Oh ok if you can fit three 140mm fans in the case you can get a 420mm fan grills like theses which would probably work better since it has a larger lip for you to bolt/mod into the case:http://www.performance-pcs.com/new-phobya-radiator-grill-triple-420-bricky-black.html
