Hi!
Very good ventilation in that case, IMHO - MB temp around 35 celsius.
Yes,it's pretty quite when the turned down, even if you turn them
up the noise isn't anoying (no high pitch noise or so).
People that hardly can afford a generic gray case are usualy dissing this case! (wink)
It is as good case if you like the look but very pricey on the other hand, IMHO.
