Have one of these case sitting around my house. Loved it as a SFF, but upgraded to lian li pc-a04. the problem was i was running a 5850 card, so the length was long enough to sort of caged up the heat within the area of the CPU (pII x4 - definately not recommended. Best is a 65W CPU like the AMD x2 250). to make matters worse, i ran the best available low profile cpucooler available (zalman cnps 8700 LED) and those copper really retain heat like a b****. between the top of the heatsink and the PSU fan is like 1/2 inch, so PSU exhaust fan and CPU fan fighting for air!

The case should have extended like 1/2 inch to include a 120mm intake fan. Anyways, i suggest for sg01 case using a 9.5" gfx card, get a evercool fox-1. It dropped my cpu by about 7-10c! so at full load, it was about 62 - 65C and that is with an undervolt on cpu from stock 1.35V to 1.225V. Imagine it at stock voltage!

By comparison, on a lian li pc-a04, full load is a only about 52C.
