Thoughts on this case?

Hi all, I got this Thermaltake Xaser II 5000+ several years ago, and am going to be building a new system (e8400, 4850, etc). I was just wondering, would this case be sufficient for my new build?

Here are the specs:

I am mainly wondering if the cooling will be good enough (I see most cases use 120mm fans now?). I would like to overclock a bit. I also plan to add an aftermarket cooler.

I see some cases have the PSU on the bottom instead of the top. Does that make any difference or should I just keep this case?

Thanks a lot!

That is an excellent case. Very easy to mod to take 120 mm fans if you want them. I had 4 of that style of case, most running SMP, dual chip, server motherboards without any heat issues. Still have one around.

I wouldn't worry about heat and size should not be an issue either.
