do you want tower case or box type..
for tower u can choose sugo sg03...maybe can support atx board..
for sugo sg01 and sg02 only support m-atx board....atx = cannot fit...

for cheaper sff you can choose XQBOX ....around RM150-250
but still you need m-atx board..

but the case is lack of modern style ,better get silverstone for better quality

just buying Aopen 326 yesterday
but my HD5830 did not fit the case lah bcoz front panel cable blocking the GC ...just only put my old HD5750 ,never mind coz power enough to watch HD movie and light gaming session...but i have 1 problem, cable inside my case is like mee goreng lah.... ..can anyone show me pic of ur SFF case cable management?
i will upload my case pic and my ugly cable management if anyone request it...

after deciding between sugo 01 and Aopen G 326.....i choose G326 because of Gundam or transformers looks ...
this sff case has lot of room because of the PSU locate outside the case..soo i can use quite big CPU cooler (used evercool shark Cooler with red LED)..but fortunately this case wont fit my HD 5830 (front case cable block GC and the clearance is soo bad ) sooo i used asus EAH5750 formula ...it's small card ,quiet and cool...i have to Mod the case and take out unimportant part and mod 460watt vantec ion2 to fit the case....here some pic...
**sorry low quality image take with nokia phone bcoz my digital camera lost last month...

temp reading :-
CPU = 37 C idle , 59 C full load. (overclock from 2.50 MHz to 3.4 MHz)
GPU = 42 C idle ,65 C full load.
HDD= 35 C idle ,42 C full load.

sorry guys, i hv delete all the bad picture already...next month will buy new digital camera and post some better pic.

Aopen G326 will fit bigger CPU cooler ,noctua NH-D14 surely will fit because the design of PSU is at the back giving more room for CPU cooler and GPU...

Look at theese pic ....



the PSU fan will help sucking the
hot air from cpu heatsink ....
i oso used this cased with evercool shark cpu cooler and HD 5830 extreme....
Aopen G325 oso the same ...but these case are rare nowadays ,and i'm lucky to hav one..

Added on October 6, 2011, 1:25 ami make experimen about putting GC shroud or not..
GC with shroud on = idle 43c ,load 76c
GC with shroud take off = idle 34c ,load 62 c
...soo much temp. diff just take out the shroud...

my cable management is not that good lah...like mee goreng specially at the GPU side,but no one will see after putting side panel,soo i;m too lazy to do serious cable management...

it's not 3rd party cooler ,this is sapphire xtreme series cooler ....there are two version of hd5830 ,one is hd5830 oem and hd5830 xtreme...i'm just take out the shroud on this card because it reduce temp. almost 10 c ... i don like the card shroud design ....also it looks like cool asus dark knight a lil bit .

i know it will void warantty but i don mind ,
if the card fail, i already prepared cash for new HD7xxx series or new DX12 card....
BTW before i take out the shroud the full load temp. is around 73-77 c ,idle 42c...i change new thermal paste and take out the shroud the temp is 67c on full load and 34 c idle...


this sff case is really good for large shf ,also the PSU fan help cooling the hsf ....i'm using evercool shark cpu cooler ,iinm it is around 6 -8 inch high...This shf is good even i takeout the hsf fan .large hsf good for passive cooling in sff system.
it also can support 12 inch hsf ,but must sacrifice 3.5 hd bay & dvd bay..
pic below is 11 inch hsf ..

the silver sff case picture i kidnaped from google image to show u this case can fit large hsf
mine is red sff case , i'm using intel 775 socket with evercool shark cpu cooler ,with these cooler u can change the hsf orientation weither hsf fan facing psu or facing side panel...but last week i remove the hsf fan bcoz its too loud,the psu fan help cooling the hsf...
that why i choose this sff case because it has large space to support large hsf...

wow u have 3 sff case...thoose lian li look cool..
more picture with hardware please

there only 5 fan in my rig.... HSF fan , GPU fan ,Psu Fan (i replace vantec ion2 psu ori fan with white LED xigmatec fan because it is more silent ) , HDD shroud fan and the small blue LED fan ( screw to the side panel to make my case looks cool with blue light )
also u have to mod a lil. bit to add fan on this case....u see that i remove the HDD cage and cd drive cage panel because it block my GC and my HSF...

This is the ori looks on the inside...



this is my case after i mod it...
