SilverStone Sugo SG05 Case Review

Conclusions

SilverStone Sugo SG05 is a small case targeted to users that want to build a small yet powerful computer. Here is a summary of what we found about this product.

Strong Points

• One of the smallest cases on the market today.
• 2.5” hard disk drive bay.
• Dust filter.
• Good power supply.
• Good price for a case/power supply combo.

Weak Points

• No anti-vibration mechanisms for the hard disk drives.
• No screwless mechanisms for holding daughterboards or hard disk drives.
• No eSATA port.
• The use of a slim optical drive increases the final cost of the computer.
• Could have come with thumbscrews.

In summary, we think this product will please users willing to build the smallest PC in town. Since it supports rather long video cards, you can still install a pretty decent video card on it, so reduced size does not mean reduced performance. It is a good product, but its adoption will be restricted by the offer of slim optical drives and mini-ITX/mini-DTX motherboards.
