I'm after a new case as I'm finally fed up of the inaccessibility and crappy airflow of my current case.

I've currently got an Origin AE H7 HTPC case, and as awesome as it looks, doesnt fair so well with the components I have in it, plus being under my amp just makes it annoyingly hard to get at if there is a problem or I need to change something internally.

So I'm looking at the Silverstone Sugo SG01B to replace it with (ideally to sit else where on my desk) but I just want to make sure that it can cope with the bits I want to put in

the rig that I'll be moving over is a Q6600 (the non energy efficient one) with a Thermalright SI-128 heatsink + 120mm fan, Gigabyte mATX board, x1950pro, Seasonic 500watt modular PSU, 2 hdd's & 2 CD Drives

Will I have any problems with temps or things fitting it (at the min I'm wondering about the SI-128 + 120mm fan)
 
I have one of these cases running an AMD set up.
The only problem I had when I built it about 8 months ago was the heatsink, with the psu in place the bog standard HSF only just cleared the base of the PSU which restricted it pulling in air to keep the chip cool, I swapped it for a low profile cooler and now it runs quite happily at 32C.
You need a modular PSU as there is not a lot of room to route wiring.
I have an AMD 6000 on an ASUS board,2 X 160GB hard drives, A DVDRW, Multicard reader and a 8600GT all running from a Seasonic 500W psu so yours should have no problems.

yeah I remember reading in the SFF forum a whle ago that heatsink space was a bit cramped under the psu, some people used the Silverstone NT06 heatsink in there, but using the PSU to extract the heat of the cpu

the NT06 is pretty similar to the SI-128 I have (i think the SI-128 is taller?), but I dont like the idea of letting my psu suck the heat off a crazy hot quadcore
