I really don't care for having the power supply so cramped.

It's a nice looking case, but the problem I see is where are you drawing air into the system to cool it? Unless the window is removable with a proper mesh screen to keep dust from getting into the system, the box is going to get pretty hot for all components.

Is it a reverse air flow design? Maybe air flows in through the back, through the CPU cooler, then through the power supply and out the bottom?

The builder needs to turn around the rear fan and CPU fan to use the PSU for exhaust. The PSU should be able to take the heat from so small a CPU.

Would it not make a lot more sense to use an SFX PSU? For such a small system it's unlikely you can get above the 450W that a good SFX PSU offers, though I think there are higher rated ones either on their way or out already.

Forget the case. Where can I buy an LCD at that screen size on the first image!? What is that like 2" monitor? 1080p for lolz please.

On a serious note, the price seems a little high for what's included.

Add a Good SFX PSU rated at 400-500w and raise the price to $100. Then, you have a competitor for the Hadron from EVGA.
