Overall Review:
I researched many cases for my new, super quiet workhorse PC, including the Antec P183, Zallmans, and other hi-end cases $100-$200. Although this case was slightly above budget, it's worth it. Quality is better than others I saw in person. Quiet enough for the audiophile in me, spacious for any kind of upgrade, and I have never worried about it overheating (with fans on low). Also looks great: sleek, solid, and powerful but understated. Currently contains hi-end mobo, quad core CPU, 600w PSU, fanless video card and multiple hard drives. Plenty of room for non-modular PSU. I'll likely use this case for decades.
If you're building a quiet PC, you need a fanless video card, and that means you need a case with excellent airflow. There are few cases that have that kind of airflow, and are as quiet as this!
