Bought mine (also in the Netherlands) for 71 euros, some time ago now.

 

It's pretty alright, as GamersNexus showed the temperatures you get with the double fan filters are not great.

Furthmore the construction is alright, only real complaint I have is that I could not plug in my USB 3.0 internal header on the side of the board. The cable management wall is interfering with that.

 

3,5" drive mounting is also not really great, since most SATA power cables are now on a comb it kinda pushes the cable against the wall. I can provide some picture later.

I may have sounded a bit negative in my previous post, it is a good case for its price. It does look good (IMO), build solidly, nice features (like the USB, etc. being integrated with the case, not the front panel) and it probably has one of the best way of mounting tempered glass; nice thumbscrew and some ledges on the bottom to actually hold the glass
