It looks like a direct competitor to the Silverstone SG07. Althought I think its better looking and you can use a standard ODD. There looks like there is enough space to stuff some cables on the other side of the 5.25 bay. The airflow looks good and it should be pretty quiet with those 2 * 140mm fans and rear 120. Looks like you would be able to get a noctua in there as well.

The only problem with these small cases is the cable management, I think a modular psu is essential. The other thing is you have to choose nice quiet components as these things will generally sit on the desk right next to you, and that mesh on the side will let all the noise escape.

And of course the main thing about these mini itx based gaming systems for me is the lack of P67 based mini itx boards, but it looks like Gigabyte are set to release a Z68 based one.
