I got one of these for the machine I built this year. I consider the price of it to be money well spent. There is so much internal space that by Nvidia GTX 680 has several inches of clearance, and it's a huge card.
I added the two optional fans (one's the cooling fan for the CPU liquid cooling system) to the three that come with the case so there is ample airflow. MY CPU and GPU both sit at about 30°, even when the external temperature gets to about 40°.
The case was also a pleasure to work with when I was putting the machine together. The engineers put a lot of thought into the design and I think this is the first of literally thousands of PCs I have built without uttering a single curse at the case.
It's also extremely rugged. I've bruised myself a few times by walking into it.
