Review on πŸ’» Streamlined SilverStone SG04B F: Premium Aluminum Computer Tower with Advanced Structure by Marc Zitnik

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The perfect small form factor case for mid-range components

First of all, as usual, the Silverstones fit and finish superbly. When creating the hull, very original designs were used. Ideal for CPU/GPU tuning with low power consumption. Okay, now for the downside: insufficient airflow is really just a downside when you're trying to do what I did. I managed to pack everything into this chassis: Core i7 980x 6-core Extreme Edition processor; liquid cooling of the Corsair H70 processor; 24GB DDR3 RAM; two Radeon HD 6950 and a 1200 W PSU. With this setup, I just couldn't get enough air to flow through the case to keep everything cool, even with the side panel removed. I've since rebuilt the case with a nice Q6700 processor (for outdoor use), a Radeon HD 5570 and a 600W PSU. Configured this way, it's about as happy as it gets and almost silent. The moral of the story is, don't expect this case to hold all your high-end gaming components and stay cool.

Pros
  • Computer case
Cons
  • Legacy model
