The R1 gets a decent review from case guru Gamers Nexus, and with 10% off plus free delivery this is a good deal if you can't pick up a case locally.
I bought one myself, so putting my money where my OzB post is :D

Great candidate to fill up with all the P12s we've all been buying!
Nice white case, and cheap too. Add 2 Artic P12 fan in front and this is good to go.
Edit: it can actually fit 2 x 14mm fan in front.
I have a Silverstone SST PS15 as well as the Fractal Design Focus G - both of which fall in this price category.
In this price category, both have their shortcomings.
The Silverstone uses thinner metal sheets, which makes the case flimsy and occasionally causes parts of the case to warp when you put pressure, say the front fan section. They also tend to use those self tapping screws, which (profanity) up your fan plastic and the enamel coating of the case. On the plus side, the case is much lighter, and while you may think this is bad - its pretty useful if you're a tinkerer or need to move the case around. Mine also had a tempered glass side panel, so for the price I guess you can't fault them for having to take some shortcuts.
The FD case is sturdier, as it uses thicker metal sheets. The negative is that it is heavier and really mostly wasted space if you don't have a radiator for example. In this specific case, you also can't remove the 5.25" drive bay cage, which really makes for a less efficient use of space (and consequently a bigger case).
The fans on the Silverstone are miles better than the FD one - they are actually usable if you'd just like to keep it in.
This was $68 at umart the other day for the rainbow model with 3 fans. Its back to $109.
So says the person who can't be bothered posting yet made a pointless comment
well sh!t, thanks for the heads up -_-
Ive got a similar silverstone case, very happy with it. My only gripe is that the side behind the motherboard has some space to hide your cables away, but its not much. Really need to shove them all in there to hide them from site. If you dont care about aesthetics then this will not be an issue.
Only comes with one fan?
