I can't find any links on google other than places that sell it. Judging by its outside and its features it definitely looks like a nice case, but the insides can make or break it, imo.

This looks strangely like a rebadged Compucase/HEC CI-6920

If so, the internals are very nice, great build quality and very modular, easy to work with and with good ventilation.

Ditch that case, spend a little more and get a whole lot more. Go with a Lian-Li pc60. Aluminum cases are the only way to go. Steel and plastic dont transfer heat too well. A PC60 can be had for right around $90-100, and the case will outlast you.

Aluminum cases are not the only way to go. The effects of aluminum on heat transfer in a case has been well documented - the results are that they do not do much, if anything at all. The overall case design matters much more, since heat transfer in a case depends a lot more on convection than conduction/radiation. The case mentioned above, if it is indeed a Compucase/HEC clone, is a very well made one, and is about half the price of the PC60 you mentioned.

I don't have experience with this particular model, but in general the Compucase/HEC cases are very well designed. I've 3 friends who are using a lower end model than this one(a mid tower) and they've been extremely happy with it. I don't see how this larger, higher end model can be any worse :)
