This looks like a sweet case. It has a PWM fan! (pulse width modulation?) Would that be temerature controlled?
It has a light on the front that will flash in the event of fan failure or stay on if it gets too hot. and a light for lan activity.
the power supply is also certified 80 plus.
there is no description at buy.com, only one picture.
but I found it at supermicro.com

if you want to read the whole manual:

buy.com should pay me for doing their job.

PWM fans are normally controlled by the mainboard, IF the mainboard supports that. On some boards only the CPU fan header supports it.
PSU is actually 85+% efficient, 11A/11.5A dual 12V rails is enough for a fileserver but not higher end workstation.
Fair deal on a solid design, looks professional but don't expect a typical mATX board to support the temp or lan LEDs on the front.
