I'd be happy to buy one of the warped ones for a slight discount if that's possible. I think I'd rather have a slightly warped one than no vent at all. I maybe a minority on this though.
They're available to order on my site.
The CPU vent is important. I am going to see if there's something I can do. I hate to change the design of the vent also, as I quite like how it turned out.
Purely aesthetic. It is mostly invisible but depends on the person, it might annoy you or not be an issue when you notice it from time to time.Sorry, but noob here. What kind of risks do I run ordering one with warped CPU vents?
Very cool! Just placed my order. Hopefully my payment went through. I was trying to find a card that didn't have any transaction fees but I haven't use that particular card in a while so hopefully it's still valid.
Just do me a favor please and don't give me the most warped one, will you!

For the CPU vent, how about a circular cut for a 140mm fan grill/filter to be installed by the user?
You (Lone) would need to open the screw holes and provide a set of short machine screws and nuts (preferably locknut type).
It would give a real nice look, especially if you make the front fan setup similar.
Example grill/filters (it would be important to find matching style for both side and front if you go that route, and most have the 80mm version too):
These 120mm ones are quite nice too and they also have 80mm version:

That fan grill cutout option isn't a horrible idea. I actually modded a silverstone case for a 140mm grill and mounted it myself from the back side. I'd take a pic but I don't currently have it in front of me. At any rate it came out looking pretty nice.
::EDIT::
Also, I just placed an order for a silver/black unit. I'll take my chances on the side panel warp. I dig the case design so I'd really like to get a hold of one. Glad this made it out to production!
