Seems Silverstone have now listed the Sugo SG03. The first picture of the full case reminds me of a Coolermaster Stacker.

Dimension of the case against a Temjin TJ08
SG03: 200 mm (W) x 360 mm (H) x 312mm (D) 3.5 kg
TJ08: 195 mm (W) x 381 mm (H) x 378 mm (D) 5.5 kg

Looks tempting to me, but can't justifty buying a new PC so soon after getting a Shuttle.
 


Didnt like it the first time i saw it, kinda growing on me tho :) it'd look imba with a vfd in that drive bay to break up all the sliver blandness, but then where would u put your optical drive :s ?
Cooling looks to be great also :)

i don't like the look of the design in silver at all but seeing it in black might
change me :)

Silver would be the option for me, as I've got a Pioneer 109XLC. Wish I brought a black version at the same time now.

Surprised Silverstone haven't released some stealth drive bay covers like Lian-Li.

Still not too sure if I like the side vent protruding.

The case looks pretty fugly to me. 'Pity as its smaller than the TJ08 (I literally have just ordered it).
 
I think this is the most interesting picture.

It shows that the power supply is no longer above the CPU (like with the SG01e) which means maybe there's room for a bigger cooler?

I like the layout as well, a pair of 120mm fans has got to be a good thing!

If the price is right I can see myself moving my system across into one of these. :D
 
If they make a new carrying bag for this, like the on for the SG01 then it'll be worth it. For me the main attraction of the SG01 is the shape and portability. If I wanted a case the shape of the SG03 I'd probably get a proper tower.

Wonder if it will fit in the SG01 bag, it's a little bigger but I find with my bag that there's quite a bit of extra room inside.

Are you sure? As looking at the rear picture it looks like the PSU is located in-line with the CPU, so a tall heatsink would collide with PSU.
 
It's a nice case.

Has anybody got an idea as to how the Micro Atx board sits in it? That is how close to the front panel it will sit.

EDIT: Micro ATX is 244 so allowing for thickness of metal etc maybe 40mm at the front... was wondering if a 2x120mm slimline radiator would fit where the 120mm fans go.

Unusual design, however the placement of PSU means you have to use low profile CPU cooler. Also only one 5.25" bay, as the poster above said. A HTPC could have two 5.25", optical drive plus VFD/IR receiver. Also where does the HD fit?

Yeah, you're right. From the side it looks like there's a bay at the bottom for the PSU.

Then again, if the PSU goes above the motherboard, why is this case so much bigger than the SG01e? Weird. :confused:
 
here ya go this is how it looks :)

ive had the pics on me pc for abit i was lazy to post them lol

hmm the cooling looks much better as a fan directly blows over the CPU cooler, so a fanless PSU would be possible. I love the size of it but its still pretty fugly if you ask me.

It can fit 3 hard drives - one 'slots' out and the other 2 internal. But only 1 5.25 bay, Im not that bothered about that.

Some more pics I found:

I am quite tempted as this looks an excellent silent pc candiate, I read that this is avaliable end of April (although probably in the States I guess)

edit - what the 'f' is the huuge side vent on that thing - makes it look even worse!

Is that the EVGA SLi board?

Or does that mean that we've got an "unknown" SLi board on it's way?
 
Looks nice, but it will be quite noisy with all the vents, no way to make it silent, but you can make it quiet by using a passive PSU, two ultra quiet 120MM fans, and laptop hard drives, nad probably a Zalman CNPS8000 at 5V
