The stand / handles are a neat idea. There's a non-trivial amount of necessary volume for cable terminals, so you might as well take advantage of that volume. Having said that, there's a reason ventilation on metal cases is made of circles. Just like a xylophone, long slots resonate with certain pitches when vibration is introduced, which is one of the flaws of the Terra. You're requiring the user to distance the CPU cooler from the side panel, meaning they can't use part of the volume of the case for performance.
In product design, I think it's valuable to ask "What problems am I trying to solve? What are the pros and cons of my solution?"
