Looks brilliant. Reminds me of an Alienware Would look better with Red or Green neon's, though. But that's just my opinion I like Green.

The fans in the case could be a little bigger. My Soprano has two 120mm fans (Exhaust and Intake) as well as a 90mm side-intake. The bigger the fan the more Airflow. Especially the exhaust .. you want to remove as much heat as you can. But I suppose two 80mm fans are just as good, but two 120mm fans would be cool to have.

Very nice.

It looks good, but the noise levels will be high due to the fact you'll have at least 2 x 80mm fan - might be an idea to get some 80mm to 120mm adapters?

Looks quite interesting, I think I saw another OC member with that case. Are there any front fan ports though?

I like it! You should have adequate air flow. Front view is very "alienware-esque."

pretty sweet... and its a plus that it has a bunch of fan ports..

if the stock fans are to loud for your taste or whatev i've bought some of these temp sensitive fans, very nice
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835186111
and a 3 selectable speed version
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835186109

if you dont want those, arctic cooling's other 80mm fans are fantastic and VERY quiet, as they are suspended with rubber: very nice

Have fun

A friend of mine has that case, and yes, it is VERY loud. I'd definitely get some after market fans to lower the noise.
