compact case, limited airflow [Posted on 2008-03-21] This is a compact case that can fit most any MicroATX motherboard. It's built solidly and the power supply has been very reliable. Some issues to note:
- Low-profile cards are difficult to find, so the low-profile expansion slots are almost worthless.
- Low clearance means that the larger CPU heatsinks will not fit.
- Airflow is limited. I hacked in a fan in the back above the I/O shield ports. It also helps to drill holes on the front of the case for better airflow.
- Because of the limited airflow, be careful to choose low-power CPUs. I've used an old AMD Duron and it got quite toasty inside. An Athlon XP-M ran quite cool, and a 45W Athlon 64 is running fine.
