Why not get a slim black disc drive for dirt cheap? Can even be a broken one. Then saw off everything but the front to give it a faux disc drive look

I have been thinking of that, lol, but since I've removed the sticker and left it gaping, I've had better internal temps, so I'm egging towards putting some mesh instead!Why not get a slim black disc drive for dirt cheap?

I managed to install some left-over fan filters I had from behind the front panel and it's looking good I think!
Without the front plate:
Added filters! I used 2 pieces for the large opening since I didn't have a single leftover piece long enough:
Final look:
Tell me what you think! Crazy that temps have been tolerable, have been using this build for a while, played Fortnite for a few hours today. Pulls in 200w from the wall.

thanks! feels like it was the finishing touch this build needed to be "viable", haha! feels complete now. i could tweak the parts in it, but i don't feel like i need to mod the case any further.
If I was more of a tinkerer, or anyone else who's more of an enthusiast, haha, I guess someone could use the bottom-left opening for maybe an LED meter for temperature or something, just for kicks, and the larger top-right opening for USB ports maybe?! Would require a 3D printer though, as always.
