I currently have an ASrock M8 setup I am considering upgrading. Primary function is gaming on this system. I plan to move the processor to another computer and since it is a pain to work inside this case I want to only dig into this one more time. I had to fix the fan directions when I first got it. The two bottom fans are now intake fans. The two top fans are now exhaust fans. I am still concerned with cooling though. I would like to upgrade these fans but there are not many options with 10mm depth. Has anyone modded this case to accept larger fans at the original locations without impacting outward appearance?

Current
Case: ASrock M8
Motherboard: ASrock Z87-M8 (Stock with case)
Power Supply: 450W Bronze (Stock with case)
CPU: Intel Xeon 1285v3 (going to move to server)
CPU Cooler: Scythe Big Shuriken 2 Rev. B (replaced the fan)
Video Card: EVGA Titan Black Superclocked (can't believe the power supply is still holding up)
Memory: SODIMM Crucial Ballistix 8GBx2 9-9-9-24 DDR3-1600 1.35V

Considering
