The SilverStone SG05-450 has been a lot of fun to work with and has managed to surprise me on a few different levels. The first thing that stands out, aside from the tiny footprint, is the fully painted chassis. Unpainted steel interiors scream...

The SG05 performed great for our SFF build. There are a few things that could be improved to make this case even better. We would love to see some noise dampening on the hard drive bay and the power button light is very bright and proved to be...

Combined with a sleek design and quiet 120mm fan, the SilverStone SG05 stands as a great option for a desktop with a small footprint without limiting the computer's capabilities. While a touch on the expensive side without a sale or rebate, the...

The Silverstone SG05 and SG06 are welcome additions to the slowly expanding range of mini-ITX cases for DIY system builders. This is a sector that was once served by industrial/commercial case suppliers, complete SFF PCs from specialized vendors, or...

The SilverStone Sugo SG05 is priced at $100 USD, which may seem as a bit expensive due to its size, but considering it includes a (good) 300 Watt power supply and other SilverStone cases are normally much more expensive, this is not a bad bargain....

With a price of $99 which includes an 80 Plus certified 300W power supply, Silverstone has an excellent mini ITX case. We used this system in a livingroom setting for about a month. We took our time because there are always things that pop up with...
