Is the case What about the fan filters are a pain? Are you referring to the psu filter? The rest of the case filters are pretty standard. 

What's stopping you from using a 240mm rad at the top?

Did you want a place to showcase the ssd? Screwing to the hdd trays should be fine unless that's what you're looking for.

If the case is still under warranty, you can contact Fractal Design for i/o replacements.

What improvements do you want over the R4 front filter? It's pretty similar to most other front filters.

It might be worth contacting Fractal Design anyway. They have pretty good customer service so you can probably get an i/o replacement even if the case is out of warranty.
