Nice to see others showing off their Element G cases. I have one of those too I will post some pics later on in the week.
I purchased mine when the price was at 64.99 so was a real bargin for it.
I changed the red stripes on the side panels to black. (used black electrical tape, looks great and did not cost anything) I did not like them and I only use the red lights looks far better with the black interior.
I too am thinking of getting a side window put in the side panel. But I will want to keep the fan there so that it does not ruin the great airflow the case has.
Cable management is excellent too. It is a shame for yours though, silly Asus.
