I just watched Newegg's overview video of the case.  It's pretty neat.  The vents and fans on the sides are flashy.   It seems to have good features at a cheap price.  

 

I bought a 23" IPS Asus monitor similar to the one you picked.  I can't tell if yours is IPS, but if so, you'll like it.   The built-in speakers aren't that great though. They kind of sound shallow, but I also see you're getting headphones, so that'll cover it.
