If you don't have an intake fan, I'd definitely utilize the side slot as one.

so now you need a case??

Can you post a pic of the front of the case? So I can give you a better Idea on how to Hack it. I have an Idea but I need to see the front of the case, so I can see if my idea will even work. It might require a little bondo, but you don't strike me as the type that’s afraid of cosmetic body work.

No, this case will work just fine. I didn't know this before but the mobo tray is removable on this case.

I'll take a pick but I think I'm going to remove the bottom 2 disc drive covers and mount a fan there since it's the perfect size for the case fan I have.

Sounds like a Plan.

Joker, I did that exact same thing. I used an 80mm fan and the two empty drive bay covers.

First I cut a half circle out of each of the drive bay covers (so it would make a circle when they were together/installed), then drilled four holes (two in each drive bay cover) for the fan screw holes. Then you just screw the fan right to the two drive bay covers and install the whole thing right into the front of the case. Works like a charm!

Thats sounds like your solution right there. Easy and cheap.

Good idea gvblake22. Mine is real close to the edge of the covers so I may have to put a piece of aluminum as reinforcement but it should work nicely. I'm also thinking about putting a filter to keep dust out while I'm at it. Plenty of time to mod right now so I want to get everything right before I actually finish the build.
