Well I am just waiting for the retailer but thought I would throw an opened oppinion if anyone knew any case that had better layout and was also made for quiet operation.
I am buying a fancontroller and SL Yate loon fans as well so it should be pretty quiet.

Do you plan on doing water cooling at any point? If yes, that case looks pretty crammed.

Lian Li A20. I just got mine and it is wonderful. All of the panels are insulated and it looks great!

I love my Zalman GS1000.
Before I added my WC last night had three Noctua fans in it with one of them on my HS and it was very quiet. My dang 4870x2 was the loudest piece
I am loving this case.

Yeah man, 4870x2 is too loud, its getting annoying already, i hope some nice aftermarket cooler come out fast!
That A20 looks nice, but the insides seems very similar. But I think my case is going to get shipped today. But if not I might try to ask the vendor if its possible to get that case instead.

I am not sure if I want to get watercooling atm. but its not hard to install a triple rad in the lower compartment and a 120 rad or PA160 behind the 140mm fan in the front which is enough for me.
