what I did with mine is I didnt instal a floppy and I put the HD in that spot. that way, there was lots more room in the back for the rear fan to remove air from unobstructed.
I also put 2 slim 50mm fans i nthe front sucking in and cout an itty bitty hold on the side where the PS blows. Put a grill on it and the air out of the PC went right out of the case. that helped alot.
Is the motherboard in there upgradeable? Does the vendor offer other boards that can fit a case that size as well? Those cases are really compact looking. Sweet for tight spaces

I don't know how upgradeable these are, they do have a bunch of other systems, but the MBs can't go from one case to another...
I'm just getting into micro atx myself but more selection of motherboards for them. I have a gigabyte socket 370 mb in an Inwin L545 case with vertical dvd that's real pretty looking and sports a tualitan 1.2 celeron. Only weakness is the built in 8mb trident video which I could replace with another pci video card.
Its small, quiet and looks great. The shuttles I've seen look good with a fair amount of variety now for the insides.
You did a nice job for the gf.
