I see an obvious weakness not mentioned:
The motherboard tray slides out sideways under the rear fan. This leaves very little free height for installing the CPU heatsink before mounting the motherboard tray.
With a larger heatsink, as is most common nowadays, you'll probably have to leave the mobo tray in while mounting the motherboard with the CPU heatsink already attached.

Other than that it seems like a nice case.
