Any updates on those who have or are going to get the Qmicra case?
 
I have one as well. I am very happy with it. It is a pleasure to work on and if you tinker with your system a lot, it is the easiest SFF to work on.
 
Here are a few pics of my build.

Components are as follows:
Intel 945 GTP mobo
Pentium 640 (64 bit 3.2ghz)
Seasonic S12 PSU
2 x Raptor 74gb (RAID)
EVGA 7800gt
2gb GEIL DDR2 PC5300
Zalman 9500 Cooler
Samsung DVD-R
Audigy 2ZS Platinum

Mine is doing GREAT - very easy to work on!

I recently installed my FX-55 clawhammer CPU and it is running cooler than my X2 4800 with the NT06 CPU cooler and a silent Nexus fan!
 
I plan on going conroe as soon as I can get a decent MATX conroe mobo. Also thinking of new graphics card(s). I am thinking of either 7950 gx2 or going crossfire. Not sure yet.

The rear fans are Arctic Cooling ACF8. The fronts are Arctic Cooling Arctic Fan Pro 2L.
I shortened and sleeved all of the cables as well.

Also the temps in mine are really good for a pentium 4. I idle at 38c and peak at 55c. No other case/fan setup that I tried even came close to that. I also put a zalman 900? VGA cooler on my graphics card. My system runs cool and quiet, and that is what I was looking for in my SFF.

I have one as well and very happy with it. mattro, if you go crossfire, being they are dual slot, you won't be able to use any dedicated sound cards, ugh, no more onboard sound for me unless its a laptop. I think my mobo just died and need to rma it, but I'm going to skip conroe and upgrade when smithfield comes out next year being my rig is only a few months old.
 
Mattro, was the use of different fans in the front and rear intentional or just what you had laying around?

-G
 
It was intentional. I wanted lighted fans in the front. Also the fans I used in the front have speed selector switches, I run the front fans on low to keep noise down, and run the rears at full. I may use speed fan or volt mod the rear fans to run slower to keep the noise even lower. Right now the system is quiet, but could be very quiet :)
