I have committed a sin Case Central. One of astronomical proporsions that I doubt I will ever recover from, I feel tainted. Almost possed by evil if you want to take it that way.

I have commited a terrible, terrible sin. :(

WJA96 just happened to be selling a Silverstone Sugo Evo, in black. :(

My finger slipped to my wallet, and I have it here with me now.

Now, does anyone know if bleach will remove the evil black colouring?

Oh and the main question I suppose, does anyone have any pictures with it and a 120.2 rad mounted?

Don't worry, you haven't commited a sin. You are comming to your senses. You are now starting to realise that black is the better colour.

I have 3x as many black as silver cases now, but any rad pics in a sugo?

Going to go and hunt the watercooling gallery now.
 
Sadly, I have to also fit a PC inside of there. :p

Raikiri could you take down those links please; thank you. :)

In all seriousness I wanted the black one, the silver ones trim around the drives and usb does not look right to me when your up close. :)
 
Why do you need a 120mm RAD? I used to have the Coolermaster Aquagate 80mm system mounted in an SG-01 (non-evo) but you could use upto 3 80mm rads in there - just bolt them between the fans and the fan housings. There is plenty of room - even on the one mounted by the HDD.

You could have one loop with 2 80mm rads for the CPU, and a second loop with 1 80mm RAD for the graphics card(s). Set all fans to blow outwards.

You could also mount the Silverstone blower fan at the back of the case just pulling cold air in. That, together with the side venting would give you a decent case temperature too.

Or what about stripping the internals from one of those external corsair coolers?

Job done. Next!

I agree 100%. The chrome looks carp next to the brushed aluminium finish, but the black contrasts with it in a sort of svelte way.
 
Lots of potential there with the smaller rads, so obvious I neglected to think about it!

See I told you I did not do SFF if that is what you could call the Sugo. :) Everthing is so, erm, small! :D

I am also looking down the passive route now, a Via Epia style processor running passively and a set of 5v fans and Phantom PSU, should be another good option.
 
Another item I've looked at in the past, but never actually been able to lay my hands on, is the mCubed Borg flexible heatpipe cooler. It looks like you bolt the initial contact heatsink onto the processor then you thread 2 heatpipes through the block and then you seem to be able to bend them (they are quite long) whereupon you can thread them into a rad of some form. You can then bolt a fan onto that, or not depending on the amount of heat you need to dissipate.

I've only seen photos and there don't seem to be any reviews, and no-one seem to stock them, so my information could be 100% nonsense, but that's how it looks from the photos.
 
Cheers for that!

Another option to consider now, can you give me a bracket for the pricing, £100+?

Got a lot of ideas floating about now, will weigh them all up in the morning probably to re-consider my options when I should be more awake.

Got quite a few ones I could try, will keep people posted on it, although the mini ITX idea is my favourite, maybe going dual boar in the one case with external PSU's as I think that would be quite cool!
 
So not as expensive as I thought, comparable in price to the other mounting ideas that I have come up with so deffinately worth considering at that money.

Ok, currently got these possibilities.

5v 80mm fans at the high end and a Via Epia and Antec Phantom totally silent rig.

Dothan and internal 80mm rad system.

P4 Dual Core and external 120mm radbox.

Conroe and internal 80mm rad setup (not really that keen)

Celeron 1.2ghz old mATX rig with basic air cooling.

Really unsure of which to choose now, put them in order of which appeals to me at the moment.

Just one little point...

The Conroe (or, if you can wait that long, Merom) would rock in an SFF box. Yonah would work well too if you can't wait. My SFF (Mac Mini) Yonah is pretty much passive under no load. Under 100% load it does put out some heat, but even then it wouldn't take a lot to cool it.

Of course, on the cooling fromt, the Via Epia works well too. They're not spectacular on the performance (the old ones were absolutely dire at floating point - not sure if that's still the case), but should still do for most things.

Good luck. :)
 
The performance I need it for is just as a fileserver really, and a general low load server / linux toybox style rig.

Folding may come into it, but im just looking for the best solution as I don't want to go completely overkill on it but it would be nice if it lasted for 5 years like the old rig has.
