They sell an Antec case at CompUSA that is really nice.  Comes with two 
fans that snap into housings in the upper rear, but you can just as 
easily put them in housings in the lower front, as I did.  I also bought 
central air vent filters at Home Depot, cut them up, stuck magnetic tape 
on them, and placed them over the fan holes.

I was striking out all over trying to find cases that would accept fans 
in the lower front until I found this.
