I had an MI-008, and hated it.  The location of the power supply was 
terrible, airflow was terrible, and the power supply fan was loud.

I much prefer my new case:

Good airflow, the fans are pretty quiet, and room for a stock cooler 
(needed a low profile cooler for the MI-008), and very inexpensive.
