I have put together the components now and the preliminary tests with the case on the floor (with plenty of free space around it) the temps idle at 32c@cpu and 30c@mb/gpu(?). On load they climb to ~40c/32c(need to double check these numbers).
With the top plate on it makes some swooshing sound from the cpu-fan, might consider to cut out a round hole above the cpu fan or drill more holes. And I'm also considering replacing the three case fans to more silent ones.
Next test will be to put it in my Tv-unit (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30086969) with the hatch open and look at the temps. Then I'll test with the hatch closed and see if I need to install extra fans in the Tv-unit.
