looks frikkin promising so far, I love black and white cases, maximum contrast. Similar to my taste, i love monotone with highlights
with a side window panel, just get 2 pieces of thin 3mm acrylic, cut them to size and place foam weather sealing strip between them, to create an air pocket. Its the same principle as doubled layered windows in studios, reduces noise up to 30db.
That is if you want a window :P
Also if you are going for quiet, i would recommend the Enermax Everest, 46CFM @ 12dba. I have 12 running, my power supply makes more noise.
Last tip, if you want semi transparent, get the AC Ryan 2-way mirrored acrylic, if you know how 2-way mirrors work, you can basically set the amount of visibility of the inside of the case, from the outside, so have some white LED's wired up to a potentiometer and you can adjust the visibility by turning up and down the LED's brightness
Edit: NOW last tip :P grab yourself a stepper drill bitthey work a lot better that hole saws and they clean the edges of the cut as they go, and they're around 10-15 bucks. Considering a good hole saw can cost you up to 30, for just one size, your pocket stays full :P Obviously the downside is if you want a deep hole on one size, you have to use a holesaw, but since it's a PC case you wont find many things thicker than 3-4mm. If you have to, I suggest using a Forstner drill bit rather than a hole saw
