Questions for anyone with a SilverStone LC17 case

[SiD the Turtle]

Hi all, a quick couple of questions for you. What is the distance from the front of the front 'foot' of the case to the back of the case, I'm trying to work out if it would fit on my shelf, which is 40cm deep, though according to the Silverstone website, the case is 42.5cm deep.

How does the front fan (if fitted) draw in air without a front grille? Is it only from the gap in the bottom? How well does that work? Are the stock fans at the back noisy?

Thanks.

Thanks for the input, I think Silverstone use the same chassis for a lot of their cases.
