Thermaltake Core V51 Case Suggestions

What are the bad things about Thermaltake Core V51 / Core V51 Riing Edition? I am thinking to build an air cooled setup with this case.

I'm also looking for case fans with "built-in central LEDs" like Corsair SP120 RGB LED High Performance. Please suggest me other case fans with central LEDs if available.  

Thank you :)

Air cooling with the Thermaltake case is not going to be fun with those front drive cages. They will block most of the air coming into the case and put more work onto the exhaust fans pulling air out of the case. The drive cages do look like they are removable but I wish that the cage with 3 drives was on the top and the one with two is on the bottom as that would offer less restriction to the airflow of the case.

I'm planning to set 3 intake at front, so there will be no drive cages. Will that be good enough for air flow? It probably doesn't have dust filter at front either.

Thermaltake puts some kind of weird mesh in the front of their cases, this one looks like it also has it. It would work okay as a dust filter but you would still need to clean it regularly.
