If you watch the podcast Tekzilla they featured this at one point and one of the hosts tried putting together a computer in this case. His verdict was that it was a piece of crap. I don't know how the general reviews lean, but I think it would be wise to avoid this thing.

the biggest problem of this case is that if you have a LGA775 board like the Zotec one listed earlier instead of regular Atom or ION based board and try to install after-market CPU cooler, there's a big chance it won't fit because the lack of space between the main tray and the top fan (so does the regular size skeleton).
otherwise this is a very eye-catchy and useful but a little over-priced testing platform.

Antec usually builds good stuff but this one is a mistake.

keep the drinks and kitties away from the case. This is a cool case with great cooling.

This comes on here once every few weeks, and the verdict is always the same... it's only good for testing, and at that, has significant limitations. Not practical for real world use.

I can't imagine the dust problem with all those exposed components.
