I need a case that will let me put outake fans on the top of the case...does anything like this exist? Would it be easy to modify a case to do this?

How much are you looking to spend?
You can cut a hole up top very easily, I did it in my Cheiftec, it took a few hours. Check my sig for pictures:)
some Lian-Li cases come with exhaust fans on the top.
Buy the case you like and can afford. If it doesn't have a Blowhole then add one. Its real simple and alot of fun..
My Lian-Li came with a blowhole in the top, but I enlarged it in order to fit a 120mm fan & blackice radiator:

Like's been said, you should be able to cut a blowhole in whichever case you get without too much trouble. :)
Dremel tool I'm guessing? How do I make a perfect cut.
Read the How To Guide's Sticky at the top of this page. The two main factors for the cutting of my blowhole were time and patience;)
yeah, just take your time with it and it comes out perfect..
here's one note to think about though.. as soon as i put a 120 on the top of my case for my second radiator, my room became much, much more dusty.. any dust that goes through that fan goes straight up into the air and comes back down all over the place.. there's now SO much more dust on top of my computer and monitors then there ever was before.. so it's something to think about if you're real allergic to stuff like that..
wow, never even noticed that, but i just ran my hand across the top of my monitor, and man that was nasty...Quote:

but yeah, doing a top blowhole mod is really pretty easy, just take your time in the cutting and filing and it'll come out real nice
