I have it too. It's a good case, the ps fan is tad noisy (but really effective :)). It helps somewhat to take off the fan grill. The ps is a sparkle 300 w, so it is really good. If you get it you should bend the foremost two tabs of the door so you don't have to slide it all the way back to get it off. Don't use the hd holders above the ps-too risky IMO. I have an extra fan there anyway, so I just took out the holder.

I didn't like how many screws I had to remove in order to get inside so I changed 8 of them to brass thumscrews and also the 6 holding the motherboard tray. I also couldn't handle the sheer volume of the PS fan. A couple of weeks after my its purchase I swapped it out for an Enermax 350w silent PS. Of course the new PS doesn't push as much air as the stock PS so I added a couple more fans in the area above the PS and one in the front intake and it's still quieter than with the stock PS alone!

Aside from those points, I absolutely love this case.
