It does look good. It doesn't look much like a PC or even an HTPC,
especially with the display in it. I get very high WAF with it.

On the other hand, the riser stuff is annoying, there isn't much space
inside, no opportunity for a 120mm case fan, the power supply is a bit
too close to the MB, so I had to Dremel out the CPU fans

But if you manage to make it all fit, change the case fans and don't
have to open it regularly, it's a cool case.
