I know that motherboards today are coming with every extra built right in. But these all come with extras that plug into the mobo and need one of the expansion slots to attach to the back. Well, I use all those expansion slots. So, my question is, "Has anyone modded the back of the case so that you can install the extras that need an opening but not a PCI slot to run?" I though about the case door, but that would be tough because you would need to detach things from the mobo every time you wanted to take the side off. I figure it will require cutting slots, verticle in my case, on the back where there is room, but how would you anchor it to the case?

I eagerly await everyone's suggestions.

alot of the older cases and "extras" like serial ports and stuff the case had a spot on the case where you removed the cover and then could remove the actual port from the expansion cover and screw it into the case. kinda hard to explain hope you understand.
