I like it this way.
because:
- front looks still the same as normal state, except for the hdd window. But If you start cutting in that front It won't look that profesionel anymore. (smooth edges etc)
-the small window shows enough, your platters and the moving thing.
-the effect of the light is better with the small window (I think)

EDIT: btw, that leds on the hdd, make it your hdd-led :D
