Years ago I always wanted a Shuttle, but wasn't prepared to pay the premium. Then while I searching for a replacement for my recent terrible ANTEC midi tower mATX build, I suddenly remembered these little Silverstone cases and immediately hammered my debit card.
I returned to silver cases purely because black cases are such a dust magnet.
Not the tidiest of work, but I did what I could concious of cable/fan conflicts. I was surprised by how much space I actually did have to work with. Keeping my blu-ray drive external freed up plenty of space for my PSU's immense tangle of leads and SATA cables made things even easier. I hate to think what it would have been like to manhandle IDE cables in one of these things!
Added thumb screws for ease of access, but I really don't want to have to access it again for a while.
SPECS:
Case - Silverstone SUGO SG01S-F – I went black, but I came back...

HDD's
Crucial C300 SSD 64GB - Boot
Intel X25-M SSD 80GB - Steam -

TEMPS: Well it hasn't melted yet.
I think I need a new camera too. An ancient 4mp Cyber-shot doesn't really do the job. The fact I have no skills, doesn't help.
Edit: Will be installing a Sony silver DVD drive after getting a modular PSU, as the Seasonic was making a nasty buzzing noise , which I could no longer tolerate.
