Extra space in case - What to do with it?!

[Gr1m]

Long story short, my build is mATX and I was given a S340 Elite case as a gift. I love the looks of the case (especially compared to the cube I was using) however it's more suited to an ATX build as opposed to mATX. At some point I'll be upgrading to an X370 mobo at which point I'll go with an ATX, however currently I'll be on the mATX B350 for a bit.

 

There will be a good bit of room left over under the mobo (on top of the psu shroud) to do something unique and fun. I will be all air-cooled, so I won't be using the extra room for any reservoirs or anything. I've already ordered a nice 6" figurine to put on the right side of the shroud, but I need something cool to do with the few extra inches I'll have under the mobo. 

 

Any good ideas?

Also, first time posting!

give that one figurine some friends or pets so it does not feel lonely - moar figurines and maybe a little lighting

Leave it as is because that means good air flow.

LoL This is a serious topic guys.....not.

 

I kind of suffer empty case syndrome too. 

 

Seems silly that 99% of cases come with 99 slots for drives (slight exaggeration),

So I removed the bottom 2 drive cages for better air flow.

 

It looks like a waste of space.

 

In the end there was a place for a floor mounted fan, which i hooked up to the header on GPU proving airflow when it heats up, 

That helps fill the space a bit.

I had thought about this as well, however I'm not sure this is the route I'd want to take. More halo fans would definitely look pretty cool, but functionally I'm not sure it would make sense. Intake = sucking hot air from PSU shroud in to case, exhaust = sucking the cool air at the bottom of the case out. This is why I'm leaning more towards something purely aesthetic.

 

I like the idea of more figurines, however I can't really find anything else that would match my theme. I'm struggling to come up with a unique idea outside of more collectibles. My current theme is red, with plenty of red lighting coming from LED strips and fans. I'm going with Hellraiser/Pinhead in this build, with a 6" Pinhead doll. I'm thinking maybe just a bunch of nails on the left to fill in the space.
