Any comments on this case from Monarch (Silver Hourglass)?

I'm closing in on collecting all the parts for building a PC based on this case from Monarch:

Silver Hourglass USB

Does anyone have any comments? I'm planning on using an MSI Pro2 with an AMD 1Ghz. Monarch offers the Tai-Sol CEK733092 and I was wondering how well that would work if I was going to dabble in some overclocking.

Lastly the powersupply is a Sparkle. I was going to go with 350w just for some growing room.

Comments much appreciated.

Thanks.

Well, I kinda think it's ugly. :eek:

Personally, I prefer something like the Enlight midtower.

That case is going to be drastically under ventillated for AMD overclocking. Hell I wouldn't even build a non overclocked Athlon processor without at least one intake in front and an exhaust fan in the back. But that's me. The plastic sides of this case aren't going to help things any. So my suggestion would be to pass.

I agree with eric.. you'd get some poor thermals with this thing unless it were modded.. try ColorCases they have some similar cases and I believe they have better designed ventilation..
