I'll have my Aurora Thursday and was looking for some pics of others with this case.
 
search for Project Cylon PC, wicked case mod, never completed though.

All i did with mine was turn the hdd cage 90 degrees for hiding wires better.. lame effort
:p

i made two small aluminium fan mount brackets, one for a 120mm blowing over my gfx card, one for a 120mm blowing over my RAM. Much lamer than yours, and I probably have the most turbulent case flow ever :p
 
just this quick mod i nailed on to the top of the case.

since the pic i have also put a 120mm suckhole fan in the window. i dont know if you got the windowed case, this would be harder to do with the mesh side panel. the case really needed it, because of the way the drive cage is oriented, your vid cards/chipset get about zero ventilation, my chipset temps on ultra-d were about 60c at stock voltages. also, make sure to replace the front fan with one that spins at least 2000rpm, like an antec or tt smartfan2. the stock fans spin at something like 700rpm. quiet, but not very cool.
 
Nice, but is it UV reactive?

I have the one with a mesh grill in the side, so that should help some and I'll be watercooling the cpu. I'm trying to keep things as quiet as I can, would those two fans you recommended still be pretty quiet?
 
the smartfan 2 can be set to automatic, ie when the temp goes up, it will spin faster. or spin at full all the time. or be manually controlled from a 3 1/2" bay thing with a fan controller on it also a thing that fits into one of your unused exansion slots. the antec has low, medium, and fast. i had to upgrade my intake to be faster, my vid cards and chipset were very hot. but the fan is connected to a controller, so i can turn it down when not gaming .
