Lol, I still have and use that same case at home. It's a horrendously ugly case by today's standards, but it's got good airflow and it has housed three builds over its time. Mine has the glass side panel, though.
I thought about using a Dremel to cut out and create my own custom side panel. In the end I took the easy route and just left it off. I don't have pets or small children, I'm not worried about components being damaged.
It is ugly, but it is freaken cavernously huge and far too functional for me to cast aside. Glad to hear I'm not the only person keeping one in use.
You're right about its "cavernous" interior. For a mid tower, it has a full tower's worth of HDD/expansion bays, a good deal of which I utilize.
