Sugo SG03 finally listed on Silverstone's site

It looks like the gts fits without any problems, the gtx needs the fan grill removing as its very tight. I hope this is correct, its from the review I posted up the page a bit

Looks like the GTX fits to

With the front fan in place, a passive GTX with a Thermalright HR-03 looks likely, as a GTS & HR-03 passive and just a bit of airflow work very well even when overlocked, stays under 70 from a review

From this.....

To this. The floppy holder bracket will not go back in. As I dont have a floppy or card reader its staying off.

Plenty of room above the psu to tuck spare cables.

Intel cooler seems fine so far running an e6600 @ 3ghz

Compared to the shuttle it is replacing...

And on the desk next to the dell 2405 24"

Very nice case, worth the wait, im impressed

Was a very fiddly build with so little room. Things I dont like are the floppy bracket, I would have had to totally reroute all the hard drive cable to enable this to fit back, a job for another day i think. Also the fan, It only has a sensor wire that plugs into the mobo and requires a molex to power it so i had to add a cable to the corsair just to drive the fan. I have 2 120mm akasa ambers that I am going to fit into the front panel & run them both off the mobo headers.
Cant comment on noise at the moment as I have 2 dell poweredges next to me which drown out anything else

Well done mate. Looks ace. Not sure if i will be going for the SG01 myself. Can't decide!! I am edging towards the SG03 though as it is not so 'chunky' as the SG01. The SGO3 looks more slimline.

m_cozzy · 28 Jun 2007 at 08:13

short & fat or tall & slim.

Your choice

TC1 · 28 Jun 2007 at 08:16

I know. Not sure if i have the space for the SG01. It would be very tight. I have a Coolermaster 201 on the desk at the mo and that is too tall etc. Let us know what the temps and noise is like with your case.

TC1 · 28 Jun 2007 at 18:25

I hope Silverstone bring out a normal side panel for the SG03 or even one with half a window in it? Much better than the grilled one thats for sure.

I gues the case could be modded quite a bit:

Put a Fan on the top

Move PSU to bottom of the case (If not using a graphics card etc)

The floppy bracket supports the PSU, so you really neeed to fit that back in, otherwise the PSU is only held by 4 screws, putting stress on the back of the case, which is really weak anyway.

Mt Floowy braket does not fit due ot cable tidy but still going ot put in back in to support PSU, will just have to cut some of the metal away from it...

TC1 · 29 Jun 2007 at 08:25

The 4 PSU screws are more than capable of holding the PSU up with no problems. Seen this on other cases.

The back of the case is really weak though, so don't want to risk it, besides I managed to get my floppy bracket to fit...

Great. I would also try to use that bracket. Just saying that it is possible without it.

MoBo · 29 Jun 2007 at 20:47

Looks great, must resist getting one.

Massive Attack · 29 Jun 2007 at 21:41

looks great i have to agree but ive noticed there is no extractor fan, does the heat not build up in the case? also is there space for 2x120mm fans at the front?

TC1 · 29 Jun 2007 at 22:27

There is space at the front for 2 120mm fans or you can move one fan up or down as there is screw holes for different positions. Would have been good if they had put in a top fan. That is a mod that can be easliy done though.

The two front fans should be able to pull air in and push it out of the back of the case, hece all the venting at the back.., don't really need a rear fan...especially if your graphics card/cpu are passive cooled, the heat will be pushed out by the two front fans...
