I'm not going to vote because it's a nice system, but the case is bad for airflow. It's workable, but there are better options in terms of case cooling.
The drive may resonate within the case (that will happen with any other case unless you suspend it), and the video card will be audible unless you're getting the Sapphire Ultimate (i.e. fanless) card.
The stock power supply is relatively quiet, but hardly the quietest out there.

I don't discount asthetics, and I've yet to come across a case that looks as good as the Sonata.NoMoreNoise wrote:What other case would you reccomend ?
But I recommend these cases if you can find them in your area.

If you search these forums for "Nexus Breeze", you can find lots of comments about that case. Both possitive and negative.
P.S. Don't forget to select the second radio button on the search page. Otherwise you get too many results (about other Nexus products).
