Review on SilverStone Technology Ultra Compact Mini-ITX Computer Case With Solid Front Panel Black (SST-SG13B-Q-USA) by Kenneth Martin

Bought this bag for my nephew's birthday for a small cheap game console. The case is certainly small, but the layout is not very convenient. To be honest it reminded me of the covers of Zero.1. Lid. The lid is in one piece. To remove it you need to unscrew the 4 screws on the back and then the 3 sided single cover slides back and out. Ugh, I seriously thought such cases were in null.2. Placing the PSU above the Mobo/Cou. You install your PSU upside down so that it draws hot air from your CPU cooler in and out of the PSU. Not great as cold air has to flow to an already hot power supply and that leaves you with no aftermarket options. CPU cooler.3. fan in front. It includes a bracket but it's off-centre, which seems fine, but if you have a non-modular power supply the cables will definitely get in the way. (For those who might not know, a modular power supply usually only has a 24-pin ATX and a 4+4-pin CPU power supply. And provides cables and connectors to connect, so you can just use the cables that you need.For example, if you have an unpowered GPU, you don't need to connect 8, 6, or 8+6 pin power cables, and if you're using an NVME m.2 hard drive, you don't need to connect make SATA power cables.) In this case, I strongly recommend a higher-level modular power supply. But remember it has to be less than a certain length, so check the specs on Amazon's page for power supply size limits. 4 body material. I bought it because of the SilverStone name. But it looks like they glued it onto a cheap fake and are done with it. The front panel is made of cheap plastic, and the one-piece cover makes it harder to work with and easier to upgrade. Also, at the top where the top of the lid touches, the top of the faceplate was uneven, causing the top of the lid to sit over the top of the faceplate like a raised section of pavement. I thought maybe I misplaced the cap when I replaced it, but no, it was just misaligned. I tried bending the lid slightly and that loosened the middle but now the top of the lid is wavy. The quality control was terrible. 5 Lack of airflow. Small case sizes make ventilation more difficult, but I've seen smaller cases with better ventilation. The case has a mount for a 120mm fan (front) and that's it. The cover has grilles or fan vents on the sides and top, but no mounts, even for thin 120mm fans.6. Price. I paid $57 and now I see them up to $75. Definitely not worth the price increase. I would look elsewhere for a small form factor case. There are some good things. pink is pink So if the person the computer is for likes pink, it works. There is also enough space for installing a GTX 1650 dual-fan GPU, but I wouldn't do more, otherwise cables from the power supply and other things would get in the way.
