It looks like a nice case. Antec makes very good quality cases. Just stay away from the PSUs for now.

Antec makes a nice case, but my personal opinion is that I have no use for cases with a door on the front.

Personally I wouldn't buy any of the PSUs on that site, but if you want to stick with it get one of the Zalman or Thermaltake PSUs.

Where do you live? If you live inside the US why not use Newegg?

Antec has been having some quality control issues with their PSUs lately. At least for now, stay away from them.
