Inside the MiniQ
Generally, there is sufficient room to work with inside the MiniQ. From the left:

TheP4 heatsink used in the MiniQ is a simple aluminum extrusion, about thesame size as the stock Intel heatsink. It has many more fins, making ita better cooler. It is important to note that the MiniQ design itselfdoes little to aid in more efficient cooling, like some of the otherSFF cubes do, such as the Biostar iDEQ. In the iDEQ, the fan standsvertically and blows air into one side of the sink while the exhuastfan sits on the other side sucking air out. In the MiniQ, however, thefan on the CPU cooler blows straight down into the sink towards themotherboard like any regular PC.

A shiny heatsink base is always appreciated!
TheAGP slot sits closer to the edge of the motherboard than the PCI slot;a good design for hot graphics cards which need to be closer toventilation holes in the side of the case.
All wires in the MiniQ are pre-connected, except for the two IDE channels and floppy drive.
The MiniQ's bridges are passively cooled.
The motherboard's four phase power system is depicted in this shot of the MOSFETs:
Last but not least is the 80mm exhaust fan sitting at the back of the MiniQ.
