QUOTE(ianho @ May 5 2007, 11:41 AM) There's not much limitation on CPU HSF. There's actually quite a lot of space there for anything up to about 8cm tall. My Thermalright XP120 shud b a nice fit. Silverstone's own Nitrogon 06 is also a perfect fit. Those 2 HSF r already considered monsters for a SFF case.  with fan is 11.1cm woHhhhh hehehe...  r u going to mod it..?..waiting.. |

That ATX casing looks familiar....
 Anyway, this casing looks nice, but it takes a pro to do cable management with this casing.  |

I like the top PCI slot thingy and how the doors don't restrict the DVD drive from opening / closing, but what's with that side panel? I know it's all positive pressure and all but it'll look so much sleeker without it. Like the little brother of the TJ09 crying for attention

The mesh is potentially useful because when you install a PSU with a bottom mounted 120mm fan, it can pull cool air in straight from outside the case and then exhaust it right back out.
So, PSU stays cool and the fan never ramps up. |

yap if you install in that way, but how the cpu? i think still better face the psu bottom mounted fan to suck the hot air from the cpu cooler then out to the case.

So that the PSU fan will act as the exhaust. |

Just an idea, you could just 'upgrade' the PSU fan, then duct the CPU heatsink to the PSU fan and do away with the CPU fan. If you're using a XP-120 it might just work beautifully. |

The mesh is no doubt useful when it comes to cooling, but cosmetically it is very fugly if you ask me. So, PSU stays cool and the fan never ramps up. |
