....err no you couldn't. Being so flat, the case uses a riser for
the PCI slots. The riser only accomodates 2 PCI cards, on mine both
taken up by the BlackGold cards. The AGP card is also mounted
horizontally above (below) the PCI cards.

Not sure on the heat output of the Athlon, but compare it against
the Pentium M 1.6GHz as mine does kick out *some* heat. If yours
uses a lot more, i'd suggest it might be quite warm in there!

Will do. It's not what i'd describe as plasticky, and is actually
very well made. The looks might not appeal to all, but it's fine for
me!!
