something like this:

i really like the lian li pc-q25b but a part of me really wants to modify the front so it can have better air flow inside with a bunch of hdd's inside it...
maybe im just paranoid but should i desecrate the lian li and drill holes to it to provide more air flow kind of like the pc-q18b?
i havent settled on the mobo since i need to find one with lots of sata ports or maybe just buy one of these:
sata port multiplier (would this work?)

and not worrk too much about a mobo with lots of sata ports... as for the cpu i think id like to use the i3 3220...
what do you guys think?
any input would be appreciated.. thanks
