The temps are high because of the CPU cooler I am using. I put my processor back on stock and it idles around 28C, with the cores being around 20C. This case drastically reduced the temps of my system when I moved from a Lian-Li to the 900.Yeah, the cooling is good (although Omega's temps suck pretty bad).. I've used hundreds of cases in the last decade. I've seen them all, from rackmounts, mini towers, shuttles, desktops to pedestals and full towers.
To me, the build is the most important aspect of a case. Who cares what it looks like if the build is crapola. I find it amusing how some people praise those POS drive cages. They're the worst garbage design I've ever seen. Even the HPs have better cages.

I don't see why it wouldn't drop your temps a few degrees, sure.
It probably would, I just have it at stock now until I get a better cooling setup, then I will start overclocking again. Or I may just overclock until it's not stable any more on the stock voltage.Do you think it would benefit me in the same way, drop my temps? At the moment, I'm idling at 36c, Load temps are about 54c...
Geoff, Have you ever thought about cutting holes in it to route the cables behind the MOBO tray?
