Review on SilverStone Technology Compact Mini-ITX PC Case with Black Mesh Front Panel (SST-SG13B-USA) by Kurt Ahui

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Simple and very compact; perfect for small games or home theater

The whole body is the size of a shoebox and is ventilated wherever needed. It is very versatile and can support SFX or ATX power supplies, as well as AIO for the CPU. You will probably want to use an AIO as any traditional CPU air cooler doesn't have much room for airflow as even an SFX PSU leaves only a few centimeters between it and low profile coolers. The GPU has its own straight air intake on the side, and the case supports a fairly wide range of sizes. If you plan to use a 2.5" drive mount on the top of the case, be aware that there may be pressure on the 8-pin connector to the actual graphics card if it's on the side rather than the end, but this depends on the actual card length. Laying cables in this case is almost impossible. Literally enough room for your parts, cables and room for airflow. If you like RGB and lots of lights on your PC, this case is not for you. Almost nothing inside the case is visible from the outside. That wasn't a problem for me, but everyone has different preferences. Overall a very good case, 9/10. One point deduction for a slight lack of airflow options.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • too blunt
