The last Voodoo Rage PC case

I have been building up a wish list on newegg.com for a "freshening" of my computer and one of the things on the list was a new case. But after looking at all the modern cases, not no mention this thread; http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1536600 I started thinking that maybe I need to utilize my old "free" Voodoo Rage case. Not really digging the newer design of cases today. What do you guy's think?

A little about the case I have, it's exactly like the case in the thread I posted a link to above. It’s Black with anodized red interior. The difference is that it's signed by most (all?) of the Voodoo employee's as it was the last Voodoo Rage case to leave the facility. Rahul even signed it lol But the kicker is, they signed the case using their World of Warcraft character names. I was the first member of the Voodoo guild (Followers of Voodoo) to hit level 60 on my character and to christen the moment the guild officers, who were all Voodoo employee's including Rahul Sood, the owner of Voodoo decided to give me this case. As I stated earlier one of the guild officers that worked at Voodoo (his name was Ryan) told me it was the last Voodoo Rage case they had. I thought it was fantastic and promptly chucked my Thermaltake Xasier. lol

I have been contemplating selling the case but I don't know. I'd like to take advantage of all the modern case conveniences but this is such a beautiful case. How difficult would it be to water cool this thing? The airflow isn't very good with it and I worry about putting a new 6950 in it. I currently run it with the side panel off in order to keep my two 8800 GT's cool. I just wonder if I can improve the airflow enough to justify keeping it? Here are some pic's on the case from my last build 3 1/2 years ago.

As you can see my cable management skills aren't quite up to par to what the Voodoo masters were lol. I decided to take a few pictures because once I cleaned all the dust and crap out of it, I realized how nice of a case it was. It's now all dusty and full of crap again.

Would it be worth the effort to utilize this case or should I just go get a modern HAF, Antec 1200 or NZXT? I would like a tower but damn, this case is so pretty.

Here’s what it looks like today;

I would think a single 6950 would be cooler to run than SLI 8800's. Also a tower CPU cooler blowing out the back of the case would help as well.

edit: Also you might want to use 5 1/4 adapter for your hard drives. They'd probably run cooler with some space between them. It would look a little nicer as well.
 
Yea, it may be cooler to run a single 6950. The tower cooler on the other hand would have a hard time fitting I think. That Big Foot cooler that's in there now is 100mm in height and I have less than an inch clearance between it and the side cover. Most of the tower coolers I've seen are over 125mm which would make them too tall to clear the side cover. If I keep the case I may try and do something like liquid_cooled did to his and figure out a way to place one of those liquid cooling all-in-one units.

Oh, and do a better job of cable routing lol
