I have a powerlogic allegra casing that might be considered SFF (it has almost ATX sized length and width, the thickness is shorter than full ATX). It can fit a full ATX mobo inside.

to TS,

I have this casing i bought 2 days ago, it can fit my PSU nicely since CM make the PSU fit in vertical mode in those casing, but make sure it will not fit with high end GC because the psu will block the big size of the GC,

i use MSI Nvidia 250GTS and i need to take out the PSU braket( the psu braket come with the casing) and only 3mm width available between the PSU and GC.

basically the air ventilation in the casing not so good if you use big GC(mid end~high end gc) because the size of the GC will block the air ventilation in the GC site and the ventilation in the CPU.RAM should be nice.

i use silerstone 500w modular( forgot the product name) price rm267, check it at Garage sale for more info for the PSU.

cheers,

Taka.

it's not bad, its mediocre. The built look tough but it doesnt feel tough when you touch it, it felt "longgar" here and there.

I own a CM690 and K-62.

CM690 looks better on the outside but feature-wise, nothing comes close to K-62 in that price range.

I love both cases but if I had to choose, I'd go for the Lancool.

You'll also notice Midgard's interior design is nearly identical to a CM690, but not as good-looking outside.

I would not say in a few days time, i clean my casing once per month on average (or twice or thrice when i am dead bored). and there are not so many dust to wipe actually. but i got a good tendency to see dust here and there stuck on the mesh grill, especially on the larger holes. Get a smaller mosquito net like mesh grill and install it between the fan and the large mesh grill and you are good to go.

nope no filter... yet, planning to get a set of those filter later and mod the case somehow. Both the side and top mesh have identical diameter.
