I think it would be interesting if it "mirrored" the front panel in a sense. Kinda like the scatter, but distributed top to bottom and having it taper off as it goes across the panel. Keep the renders coming!
V2 looks good, but I agree that the power button should stay on the front. Also the front vent going top to bottom was a good idea imho, I see what you're going for with the tabs, but think it would look better with full height ventilation.
