Antec Aria good for HTPC/General computer?

[rsd]

Hi, I've been slowly putting together pieces for a HTPC, and I have some coupons/credit at Staples and noticed they sell the Antec Aria case (would be the cheapest place to get it for me, ~$75 AC).

So I'm just trying to get feedback on it. I read some reviews, which seemed somewhat mixed. Some really liked it, while some were more mixed, citing concerns with Heat/airflow, and little room/messiness inside.

Any input is appreciated, thanks.

yea I'm looking into it also. From what I have read is that if you have a big processor (3ghz+) and a big grafics card you can run into major heat problems. Depends what you put into it I guess.

I'm thinking this is a good answer to over heating... but I really have no clue.. So I'll just make a link here.... Just incase someone knows..
