Remember this?
I removed it altogether. It doesn't add structural support and was only there for appearance
and allow the drive holder to be screwed in, which I didn't do. I grabbed the same pair of pliers
and tore it out in 5 minutes with my bare hands before going to work early this afternoon, was fun!
As you can see, there is more room now that it is gone. Even now, my HDDs are thanking me and enjoying the additional space.
I moved all the unused PSU cables underneath of the PSU.
It was a tight fit but the PSU has more room to draw air in.
The angle the image was taken doesn't do it justice, though.
Following in
EndoSteel's (after BlueFront's method) example, I finally suspended my rear fan
with elastic and do notice a difference in the "whirling" noise seemed to have been cut in half.
I realize the elastic isn't 100% and maybe sometime come undone and cause the fan to fall
(as you can see the elastic doesn't come out the bottom right screw hole. It did before I tightened
the elastic. I will adjust it properly tomorrow before work. I'll see if I can add rubber thingies
between the case and the fan.

Yup, did that as well, see the two images below.

Here's the updated pic of my case all-over.
I'm going to change my HDD suspension pretty much to match what is displayed
here.
Suggestions? Comments? Positive criticism?
What could I do to secure the elastic? I'm going to Canadian Tire on Thursday so feel free to mention anything I can get from there to improve my existing changes.
Thank you all,
