ALRIGHTY MR BITFENIX PRODIGY, no longer will your stupidly placed "front" I/O trouble me, for I have done something both stupid and innovative! My creative mixture of random screws and a cable tie have enabled me to achieve greatness. TAKE THAT BITFENIX! If anyone here works for Bitfenix, please design the case to have a more useful/accessible location for the front I/O. Oh, and all the ports/buttons still work as normal
See the photos \/

My optical drive now resides in the drawer of my desk, and I have a sata power/data cable on standby already wired just in case I need my optical drive/another hard drive (my own hot-swap if you will). The piece of metal does look quite bad on the right side, doesn't it? Yeah, I bent the crap out of it till it snapped. That's just how I do things.

Feel free to criticize or praise me I could case less, I just felt like sharing this strange thing I did with y'all.
