SilverStone Sugo SG04B Small Form Factor Case Mr.Tweak Aug 17th, 09, 11:38 AM #1

Small form factor cases seem to be making a rise in the market lately. It’s sort of reminiscent of "sleepers" in the street racing scene. This is where you take an average car, usually paint it in black primer, and strip it of all non essential parts. The biggest part of a "sleeper" is what’s under the hood. Pulling up to a Chevette at a light, you wouldn’t expect it to have 350 cubic inches of motor, but you sure know it when he rockets away at the green light.

SilverStone has done exactly this, in my opinion, just with a computer chassis. They took a SFF chassis, simplified the outside and removed or hid all non-essential items. Keeping with my "sleeper" analogy, SilverStone leaves enough room for some monster horsepower to be dropped into this chassis as well, making what appears to be a simple gaming rig at a LAN event, to possibly be one of the most powerful rigs on the table.

Nice case but USD $159.99 kindda leaves a bad taste in the mouth for an mATX only casing IMO

Hmmm, I think the casing makers are avoiding to make anymore casing that comes with PSU. For e.g. no remake of the LC-12? I'm really looking forward to that.
