Looks cool! Only issue I would see is cooling if you overclock | |

Looks ok to me though I have not bought a desktop case for ages. All towers for me. Like the black, are you getting black/silver components as well? | |

True, but there's room for 1 case fan and my Enermax powersupply has 2 fans
Also if needed i can always install some 70mm slotfans
but my main reason for getting this case is that i want it on my desk with my TFT monitor on top  | |

That I do not know, better check their site. I know some people have taken the fronts off and painted them but could be risky. | |

if will wprbably be louder becuase all teh fans will be closer to you. Even if you have fewer fans, they will still be closer to you. If you dotn plan on overclocking, all you need is a CPU fan and whatever comes on your PSU.

Yeah iknow
i have a 21Db fan on my CPU and a 2x12db fans in my PSU
but right now i need to have a case fan too because of my fan less Ti200 card.
Also wiht less air it should be more quiet
correct? | |

I don't think less air flow necessarily means a quietter computer. It depends on how thick the case is and how loud the fans are. If sound was a big issue water cooling might be a viable solution, or this tutorial might help.
I'm thinking that because its closer to you, instead of being on the floor, it will probably be even louder. Now if you replaced the fans with some quiet fans and the case was thicker than your previous one it might make a difference.
With less airflow in that case I'm thinking heat is going to be an issue, especially with your fanless ti4200.
It might actually be quietter though. Let us know how it goes. Good luck.
