This case looks very nice both from the outside and inside, my question is if this case has good airflow? it does have spots for 2 120mm fans which is good but I just want to make sure from the people who have this..

If I buy this case any recomendations for better airflow, like positioning of the fans, and where, maybe cut out the grils and add the good ones?

I have this case and I must say that I am very impressed by it. This case is my first Antec case and I highly recommend it to everyone. I purchased it for $88 shipped, and now the price has dropped so I do suggest that you get it.

As for the airflow, my system temp. is at 33C idle and 35C full load. This is with 2HD, 2 Optical, 1 big ass Ti4600, Sound Card, Netgear Wireless G, 1 120MM Fan, and 1 exhaust fan.

The only beef I have with the case is the color. I guess you can get used to it, but I should have bought the all black one.

I love the color on this case. Air flow is great and you can cut out the fan grills if you like I just did the back one as the front one has bigger holes and you don't need much air flow coming in the front as the rear fan pulls enough air in to keep things cool. I have a fan in the front but have it turned way down with my Sunbeam controller, I just wanted a bit of air flow over my hard drive. I don't think you will need to cut any holes for extra fans as the air flow is great. I just put in a Tagon 380 power supply in mine and boy is it nice very quiet and best voltages I have ever got out of a power supply 3.31 5.00 12.11. You can buy the case from Directron.com and use the option at the bottom to get it without a power supply and get it for $33.00. I got my Tagan Power supply from Electroseller for 65 shipped. Only bad thing about the case is the hard drives make a bit of noise and you can really hear them while seeking. I cured this by mounting them with small bungie cords and can not hear them at all now. My system is Abit IC7 2.6 cpu at 3.1 Zallman 7000 heatsink, WD Raptor hd, Asus and TDK, CDs and Ati 9800 pro video, Turtle Beach sound card.

also, if you plan on sticking with the stock color, rustoleum sells the exact same color in their metallic's line, so paint your drives!
you have no excuse ;)
