I will be buying this case in a few days but one thing which is making me have second thoughts is the fact that it only has two fans slots (front and back), which probably means the airflow isn't great either as the supplied fans are low RPM. Will I see a huge increase in temps coming from my Midgard?

I'm building with this case right now. I love the thing. I think with the 140mm intake and the 120mm exhaust it should be just fine. There is an optional top panel for another 120mm exhaust.

I have pics of the case if you want to see it's awesomeness.

The PC-7 is an absolute joy to build in. There should be no problems with airflow as far as I'm concerned. If you see fit you can ziptie another fan to the back of the 5 1/4 inch drive bays.

Yes it is a joy to work with, that's for sure. Makes my Antec 1200 feel and look like it's made out of Lego.

GameBoy, I have the same case, there is another new top coming soon that I seen with 2 140mm fans I plan on getting, but with the H-50 cpu cooler a top fan really isn't needed. I installed a second 140mm fan in the drive bays along with the H-50 and it stays nice and cool, I love this case!
The first picture is of my K-62, same case just steel. (prototyping the fan)

Pics would be lovely, is that top panel with the fan available now or?
Anyway, I'm completely sold on the case, and will most likely be purchasing it soon, thanks for the reassurance and replies!
edit: Also, as there a no holes in the bay covers with the Lian Li, wouldn't it render the fan useless?
