Opinions on this case?

GIGABYTE GZ-FA2CA-AJB Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case

The feet in the pictures kind of make it look weird, but they can be tucked under, or removed all together.

I really like the traditional looks and layout with some added flare, nothing to obnoxious. Most of all the price seems to just right, actually it's still a little more than I'd like to pay, but it's not unreasonable. I really would like to get a nice Silverstone or LiLi, but I just can't justify spending $200-$300+ for a chassis.

Seems to have good reviews, well made, all aluminun sturdy construction, stylish, nice features. I was just wondering what some of yall thought. Any recommendations? I'm looking for a full-tower but not an enormously sized full-tower.

Cases are hard to recommend because everyone has different tastes. That seems like a nice case..
other brands I would look at are LianLi and Silverstone

Word. Its must "meh" to me, and others it would be an instant hard on. I prefer Antec cases myself. Get what you like and what will work for your needs. Aluminum cases like that tend to verberate and amply noise and vibration alot more then steel cases, something to keep in mind.
 
Apparently there are anti vibration pads installed on the back of the motherboard tray with this particular case. I don't know how well they work, or if they do anything at all and are just some gimmicky feature.
 
This isn't a bad case. Too bad there are no slots cut in the mobo tray for wire management. Also, it has a lot of smaller fans so noise may be an issue. I personally wouldn't spend that much for a case like this even though its aluminum. But that's me. Like JacobC1983 said, it comes down to personal taste.
 
Well, there are no 'factory' slots cut in the tray anyway. That could be changed if one so desired.
If it were $20-$30 cheaper, that would be ideal.
