ARM Sytems case -- any user experiences?

I am considering buying an ARM Systems case, pre-foamed, without a power supply. This case has ventilation holes in the top, a ventilation duct from the side wall, and two 120 mm fans.

Has anyone had experience with this case? Sorry if there are threads on this that I have missed. I searched and came up empty handed.

Thanks in advance.

Well, the StealthPC Foundation Kit by ARM Systems is on top in the list of recommended cases and has been so for a while. Now, if the case you are thinking of is the same or derived from the aforementioned one I don't know, but the review might be informative anyhow.

Thanks for reminding me of Mike's nice review.

Still, has anyone bought and used one of these for a while? I am curious about how satisfactory they are over the long term.

Thanks again.

I built a system for my wife using the foundation kit. Excellent case. Well-built. Good ventilation. As Mike suggested, I added a screen to the side intake vent and considered adding a filter to the front fan but have not done so.

I did a search on "ARM System Steve" and came up with these:
