as long the case only fits mATX & not ATX then its SFF

you should google PC Lab Design case

the case is kinda big for a SFF, still they call it SFF case

You might want to change the way you mount the fan.
You're making the airflow super messy.

bro...a noob suggestion here xD
how bout u mount ur mobo to the front part of the pc, put a air intake blowhole above it, and maybe maintain the fan positon, but both side exhaust fan to channel the hot air out?
or top panel put exhaust fan and den bottom put 2 intake fan??

just my 2 cents...hope u dont mind biggrin.gif
