That case is just amazing with that price. I've got one

You can put 8 fans in it, or more if you use some creativity, 3 fans come with the case pre-installed, power supply on the bottom, tool-less drivebays, fits two 8800GTX in SLI, good airflow, and it looks good.

Just an awesome case.

I'd like to point out that the PSU you've chosen is completely unnecessary for that system, Seasonic S12II-430 or Corsair VX450 are much more suitable.

I'm experimenting with one myself. I can't keep it as it lacks a front door and my drives and bay devices are bunch of mutts - all diff. colors. But is it good for cooling, roomy, but porous as far as noise is concerned. So if noise is important to you, choose your components carefully. I also don't like the HDD trays as they didn't make them bi-directional (allow you to aim the connectors in either direction) when they had the chance - they are clever, just not clever enough for me. The fact that I'm dealing with a recalcitrant HDD at the moment colored that comment.
