Slapped it together and look allright but more importantly if work real well.  My intake fan sucks all of it's air through the filters and keeps a lot of the crap out of my case.  And the foam also cuts down on the noise of the front fan.  It's almost half as noisy as it was.  Done it for about $10 American which I think makes the mod even better.
