New detailed SG05/SG06 review

There is a new and very detailed SilverStone Sugo SG05/SG06 review on http://www.silentpcreview.com/Silverstone_SG05_SG06. Surprisingly, the solid front of the SG06 was found to make it a bit quieter than the SG05 (one would expect more turbulence noise from the smaller SG06 vents, but it appears that blocking the noise emitted by the fan with a cover is a more important factor).

They used a Zotac 9300 ITX with an E7200 in the test and showed that the cpu was cooled completely adequately by a larger fanless heatsink, such as the SilverStone Nitrogon NT06-E or the Coolermaster GeminII.

10 pages!

If the motherboard selection increases for mini-D/ITX I intend to move to this this form factor eventually. As I still prefer the old style Shuttle G chassis sized cases, and this looks like a good alternative.

They need to offer slightly more powerful PSU's. I'd be there then, but a little worried about porting to the SG05/6 with Q6600 and a HD4890.

Yeah i'm pricing one of these up, but i'm in the boat with Guardsmon. I don't want to have to stunt my graphics performance to run an mITX system (however I don't expect to be able to get a 4870X2 in there either).

I'm really tempted by the SG06.

What I'd really like to know is if I can fit a 4870/4850 in there with my T-Rad2 heatsink and still get good performance. Perhaps a slim 120mm fan would fit on...

edit: SPCR really are the best review site on the web. They always go into such detail, it's incredible.
