SilverStone announces its Sugo SG05

here are some pixs

Taiwan-based SilverStone Technology has now revealed a new member of the Sugo family of SFF (small form factor) PC cases, the SG05. Seen below, the chassis measures 218 (W) x 276 (D) x 175 (H) mm, has a steel body, a black paint job and a SFX 300W 80 Plus certified power supply. The SG05 has support for mini-ITX and mini-DTX motherboards, CPU coolers that are up to 82mm tall and enough room for one graphics card that is up to 230mm long.

Cooled off by a 120mm intake fan, the SilverStone's case can also hold one 3.5-inch or two 2.5-inch HDDs, and features front-placed audio outputs and USB ports. The Sugo SG05 is expected to reach stores in mid-January (2009) and cost 83 Euro (without VAT).

it dont look to bad does it? still unsure if i like the look tho

Slightly resembles a microwave... but TBH i don't actually mind the look really!

For a case that size cooling should be pretty decent!

Ah crazy if a little weird...

Looks like competition for the shuttle sized stuff....

I take it its not really big enough for a mini gaming pc though *hugs sg03*

Still looks pretty good (imagine silver though)

You're not wrong there. But something about it makes me really like it.

Strangely enough only last night I was thinking how good it would be if I could sell my 680i and get a mini-itx board for my Q6600 and run my 8800GTX from it, but couldn't think of a case that would be able to cool it....

This one probably could, but I'd be more than a little worried about the PSU as I guess its not ATX 2.2? and I don't think a GTX would be the best solution ever, but definately a good idea for those wanting small media/ intermediate gaming rigs....

And like the way they actually bothered to move the 2 USB ports more than 2 mm apart...

Only thing I would have thought they could have done to make it look cooler would have been to put the optical vertical on the right hand side. A nice slot loading driver there would be perfect

heres me about to make a post saying I'm bored of my v350... what to look out for, and this pops up. Nice

DOnt think itd make a hardcore machine though

gt_junkie · 7 Dec 2008 at 11:14

I would imagine it would be perfect for a midrange wolfdale and something like an ATi 4670.

Would make a very compact yet capable lan gaming system.

Yeah, I have been looking to make myself something like that, you could even run it off a Pico 120w PSU if you were careful.

Still the biggest problem is finding a decent ITX/DTX board with PCI-e except for the massively over priced commell boards.

I Think this might be my ITX NAS server prayers answered. Its the perfect size and for expandability I bet you could fit a fair few drives in there if the psu was taken out and replaced with something a little smaller.

This mobo would be sweet in there

Been looking for info on this case, there website says it can take the following size gfx card.

ATI Radeon HD 4850/4830 - 9”
NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT - 9"
NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT/GSO - 9"
NVIDIA GeForce 8800GS/GT/GTS - 9"

So would assume the psu would be upto the job.

jvowles · 30 Jan 2009 at 21:14

its interesting. I used to have the antec version similar to this...they are still big, thats the only issue, compared to a Silvestone MX02, which is quite stylish and small.

On ebay

Shame its in america with high postage, but looks like it will be around 60 quid. Not bad considering included PSU

mjones1 · 9 Feb 2009 at 17:43

I will be buying this case if it is sold for about £55

WILD9 · 9 Feb 2009 at 17:55

Hope it turns up over here soon, my ITX build has been held up by it for 2 months so far

lukeharvest · 9 Feb 2009 at 17:55

Looks like an interesting case

mjones1 · 9 Feb 2009 at 18:10

The only problem is going to mind a good cheap mobo.

Psypher5 · 9 Feb 2009 at 20:53

would it fit a 4870 1gb in? supports up to 9inc cards... but on the other sugo specs it says a 4870 is 9" -.-

doubt the psu would handle a quad and high end card though, lol.

WILD9 · 9 Feb 2009 at 22:53

I saw an interview at CES with the silverstone rep where he said it would take a 4850 but the 70 needed too much juice.

Psypher5 · 9 Feb 2009 at 22:55

ows. would have been an awesome little gaming box!

BGammon · 10 Feb 2009 at 16:54

Should be here in March, had email from silverstone rep

Guardsmon · 24 Mar 2009 at 13:04

*Sorry for the large bump*

Anyone got any news on this?

As I previously posted I'd love to move my main system to something like this. Now with OCuk stocking the zotac mini-itx (seen it around for a little while) I was thinking maybe selling my p43, 8800GTX, Lian Li PC7+ with accessories, TRUE120, Corsair HX620 and getting an SG05, 4850 and zotac + mini ninja. (got the problem of 5x3.5" drives to sort out, but I'll figure something)

Might be moving to NY in a years time and the smaller size would certainly be much better than trying to get my current rig shipped over.
