Urgently need a new case below 43cm in height and the A05NB is perfect! Except its not in stock anywhere :-(

How does the A06B compare? Noticed it has a smaller back fan and I plan to put a ATI 4870 in the back of it so not sure if the fan will be good enouh. Any thoughts much appreciated!

Thanks
 
I've got the A06B. The cooling isn't great in it, I've got two 80mm Akasa fans on the back and it still gets a bit toasty. My 8800GTS runs quite hot too, so I'm looking at getting a fan to go above it to keep air circulating at the top. It's a quiet case overall though, but I think I'll be going back to the more traditional layout soon.

If you don't overclock or anything it'll be more than adequate, but this is definitely not a case for high temps. The back-to-front airflow idea just doesn't work well, because something always suffers.
