One of the actually great looking and also highly functional PC cases, I expect you'll be very pleased with that one (Y)

(well, except for mounting the SSD behind the motherboard - some first-class genius thought that abomination up...)

 

Now, not that I'd expect anything from Corsair to be distinctly bad, but perhaps let some reviews of just very recently announced RM-series roll in and consider something else in the meantime. There's Fractal Design Newton R3 600W - a Platinum rock-solid unit for nearly the same price (it's not fully modular, though, but do you really care?).
