Antec P100 - Any Good?

I am looking to setup a file server and I like the look of the Antec P100 as it's similar to the Fractal R5.

Any reason why I shouldn't get this case or any better lower cost cases I should consider?

My setup for now will be a a spare ATX motherboard I have,1 x 60GB SSD for OS + services, 2 x 2 TB HDD's running in mirror raid for storage, a 2 TB HDD for backing up.

I was going to run the processor with a passive heat sink and have just a rear exhaust and front intake fan.

I would like to keep it as silent as possible.

Lovely case, silenced with sound dampening and some speed controllers on the pre-fitted fans, I also think its looks nice and well proportioned.

the case is all noise dampended with padding in the top and side panels are dual layed to reduce noise too. Perfect for any Quiet Computing!

HDD bays galore too

Thanks for the replies.

I've seen some reviews/complaints about the screws used to secure the HDD to the trays being to long so they rattle. Any idea if this has been addressed?
