Silverstone Sugo SG02 PC Case/Enclosure Review

[SpinDizzyMR]

I've got the SG01, very similar to this.

If you want my advice for a build inside this case.

1. You're going to struggle with cable management if you don't buy at least a partially modular PSU. There really is hardly anywhere good to tidy up cables if you use both drive trays and keep the HDD cage.

2. This has got a stupid vent at the back near the cpu to fit a silverstone crossflow fan. Instead for a high end setup I'd blank those slots, use a tall heatsink and sideways fan.

Hi,

I was just wondering what kind of clearance you get between the CPU and the PSU as I'm trying to find a decent cooler in advance of buying it.

Great review btw, helped me make my mind up!

All this case needs is a better cable management system, and a better way to install and detach the HDDS.

Also with the noise, if you are going to get this for a home theatre, you can simply buy silent brand fans and graphics. Never stay with the stock fans it comes with, spend a few extra dollars and you can have a silent PC.

can u fit a 1gb ddr5 ATI 4890 into there?:P

[r31ncarnat3d]

@AleksNHWarcraft3 You can fit a 4890 in the case. I have the same case myself with a GTX 260 216SP, which is longer than the 4890. However, make sure you get the "F" variant, as in the "SG02B-F" or the "SG02W-F". The non-F variants CANNOT fit higher-end video cards.

The case isn't loud if you demount the 80mm hard disk fan an if you use the SilverStone Nitrogon NT06 Evolution cpu cooler, then you can build a one fan case, because the fan of the power supply blows the hot air of the cpu out of the case. And then, you have only to choose a quiet power supply and your home theatre pc ist quiet silent. Do you can uncouple the 3,5" hard disk into the 5,25"?

thanks for the review man.. question: can any power supply fit on this case?

[DanielDuesentrieb91]

Yes, you can.

@gagokaseloska NO

[xingfenzhen]

how do you remove 3.5 HDD cage from this thing? It just slides in here once I took out the screws. Is there a trick to get it out? I spend most an hour getting my motherboard in... (not looking forward get it out for the next upgrade)

[declaration963]

this case is so tiny, i think this case is not recommended for M-ATX but for ITX motherboard like ATOM board or Nvidia ION Platform

[r31ncarnat3d]

Nope, it's mATX. I've just installed an Asus G41 mATX motherboard with Corsair 400W PSU and Intel stock cooler, and it all fits fine.
