Monarch Hornet Pro (939)

I've been looking around at different SFF products and I'm interested in the Aspire q-pack or a barebones Monarch Hornet Pro. I've found info on the Aspire, but really nothing on the Hornet.

Does anybody has any first hand experience with the noise & cooling levels on the Hornet? I would put in the MSI RS480M2-IL motherboard, a AMD 4400+ x2, and a x800XL graphics card. I understand I can install the Zalman CNPS700B on the board with some modifications, but I don't know about installing a northbridge heatsink.

Beside the clear panels, is there any difference between the q-pack and the Chenming 118?
 
I've got the Hornet Pro, though I'm not using it anymore. I switched over to my shuttle when a sweet deal opened up.
The hornet can run pretty cool, and I was running a P4 2.8 with just the Zalman 6500Cu on the CPU.
that was obviously quiet, but the fan on the sidewindow was too loud for my taste. Of course, it's optional, and a replacement panel (sans fan) or unplugging fan would eliminate the noise.

I really liked the case, but the G5 shuttle design blew me away.
I just found out about the Aspire case today. It looks really interesting, but I got no experience with it.

Oh, the only number I remember from running the Hornet was 58C-78C on the CPU, without fan on it.
