Has Anyone used this case before? It doesn't seem to have any fans, but is tiny!!

It looks great on paper. I was going to replace the 40mm fan on an ion mainboard with a super silent one.

Here is the url to the case:

Will there be heat issues? Will a typical ion board fit, is the case tall enough for the ions heatsink and a dvd drive?

A typical itx board i would imagine will fit, You will have to use a slim dvd drive ie laptop dvd drive. I cant imagine there being many heat issues as it has been designed like that.

The case doesn't look very tall, which is what I'm after but do you think the mainboard heatsink will hit the DVD-rom?

It can't do can it? I mean the ION mainboard must be a typical hieght for mini-itx?

I would imagine so and if you do run into a dvd problem you could always use an external dvd drive.
