Anyone contemplating the idea of building a Mini-ITX gaming system will want to check out Silverstone's latest creation, the Sugo SG13. Somehow this tiny case manages to squeeze in a full length dual-slot graphics card, a standard ATX power supply and a 120mm radiator for an all-in-one liquid...

Silverstone is toward the top of case manufacturers that we consider when building a new PC thanks to past favorites including the Raven RV02-E , Fortress FT02 and Temjin TJ07 . Of all its lines, the company's Mini-ITX 'Sugo' series stands out for being consistently surprising.

The Sugo SG13 is about as compact as PC cases come while still offering enough space for high-end enthusiast hardware and at $50 it's competitively priced against immediate challengers

Although it can house plenty of horsepower, the SG13 requires careful attention to hardware selection and installation; Also, $50 can quickly become $80+ if you buy SilverStone's cable kit etc

Not too long ago there was something of a spurt of interest in Small form factor cases, fuelled by what was seen as the imminent impact of steam boxes on the living room. For a while at least they were the in thing.

Silverstone SG13 Review

Today we are going to look at the Silverstone Sugo SG13. I've always been a huge fan of Silverstone, mainly because I think they redefined small form factor computing. And made it incredibly affordable to the everyday person, I believe the SG13 could be considered the bigger brother Silverstone Sugo...

Cons; Hmmmm none

SilverStone rarely fails to send us a case that isn't interesting and combining this fact with its eager support for smaller cases, we usually get something that's intriguing to review.

Good little casing for mITX builds. I broke off 3/4 screw tabs on the from panel because , at first, it looked like it would be taken off on its on (it was a bit loose). Only after did I see that you need to unscrew and remove the case cover and then you can access the 4 screws needed to undo the...

Good looking; Good configuration

Front panel can be broken easily if not careful; Screws to undo all panels; Pin hole reset button

The product is good by design, if you are planning to put hot hardware inside get the mesh front version and an all in one cpu cooler. I tried with a 980ti evga sc+, i7 4790k, 16gb ram and my gpu temps were fine in range of 70 degrees under load, however with a solid front the all in one cooler...

This case is great and you can tell that Silverstone has had quite a well to figure out how to make a great, well laid out ITX case for the masses. It has everything you could want in a small case. Openings to either release or pull in air for all of your components. Great design.

Small Foot Print Keeps All of Your Components Cool Well Thought Out Looks Good Power and HD Lights Are Not Annoyingly Bright Reasonably Sturdy For It's Price

An All In One Water Cooling Solution is really your only option here Make Sure You Get It Right The First Time An SFX Power Supply Is Highly Recommended; Therefore Limiting Your Choice Can't Screw All 4 Screws when using a 140 mm fan

Given its very reasonable asking price of $40, the SilverStone SG13 is a real winner. No, it's not perfect: higher-quality sheetmetal would add some solidity, and the inclusion of a front fan and SFX PSU bracket would really make it a better overall package.

Incredibly small yet big enough to run a high-end system; excellent ventilation; very low price

Thin sheetmetal leads to some flexing; must choose components wisely; no fan included
