Silverstone build quality

[Tute]

Talking about the SG05/06, does this bother anyone else? I can't stand how flimsy the front panel clips are, how the outer case flexes and is a right PITA to fit back on, how cheap the whole thing feels etc.

It annoys me because I love the layout of the case, I just feel that major corners were cut to keep this case below £100 when it just didn't need to be.

I'd have happily paid another £50 to have it made to the kind of standard that Lian-Li can achieve.

lian li and build quality shouldn't even be used in the same sentence.

Admittedly i've not had a Lian-Li case for a while as their miniITX cases have about the worst layout and looks possible but surely they can't be that bad?

My V351 was a very decent case indeed for build quality.

Plus IIRC Yewen used to love them for this very reason.

Have things changed?

I love my Sugo SG04!

Hah, don't get me started there either. My SG03 was a great case when I used it (although it was more than a little cramped) but it wasn't well made either.

It came decently put together but when you take it apart to build then you won't get it back together properly. The mesh on the front in particular never fits back quite "right". The side panel "hooks" are a bit bizarre and a pain to fit.
