While the upper echelons of the chassis market remain fairly stable, the rest of the market is in a state of turmoil. One area in which we expect to see a huge amount of innovation going forward is the Mini-ITX arena. Systems built into chassis that you barely notice. The problem is that, in the past, your wallet noticed too much. Silverstone believes it has a solution.

Small may or may not be better, but it certainly has the ability to be cuter and to draw far less power.

Traditionally, the problem with smaller systems has been ‘French Bistro Syndrome': The smaller and tastier the portions – the greater the price charged.

Introduced in 2009, Silverstone claims that the Sugo SG06 was a revolutionary product. Originally, this form factor was only expected to be used for low power computing and industrial applications.

Designed for use with Mini-DTX and Mini-ITX motherboards, the SG06 was capable of swallowing many standard components while keeping everything relatively cool.

For example, it was the first Mini-ITX case in its size class equipped with 120mm fan – and it was also the first capable of dealing with the full 10 inches of a modern graphics card.

These design breakthroughs allowed anyone to build a fast/affordable performance PC into a case that's smaller than most shoe boxes.

With SFX power supplies becoming more popular thanks to the success of SG06 and subsequent case designs, SilverStone has decided to release a version of SG06 called the SG06-Lite – supplied bare bones with no PSU cluttering up the price.

It's affordable and gives users much greater flexibility when it comes to choosing components.

Special Features:
• Ample space for CPU cooling (82mm in height)
• Elevated stand-off for motherboard back side components
• Powerful/quiet 120mm fan in mini casing for positive pressure cooling
• Support for both 2.5” and 3.5” hard drives
• Mini-DTX / Mini-ITX motherboard support with SFX PSU compatiblity
• Support for graphic cards up to 10 inches long

You can find further information about SG06-LITE over on the Silverstone web site, here.

The SG06-LITE landed into SilverStone's warehouse on Sunday 27th May and it's expected to be around £45 inc vat in the UK (possibly €49 in Europe).

Simple, sleek looks with the ability to host some serious firepower

KitGuru says: The Sugo series has pioneered some great innovations and now the SG06-Lite is looking to make the result of all that hard work available for less. Great concept, will be interesting to see it in the flesh.

Today we are going to look at Silverstone's latest small form factor case, the Sugo SG09. This case is designed for those users who want to build a powerful compact system, boasting enough room for a long graphics card and a full size power supply. This makes it ideal for use as a powerful small form factor gaming system or a home theatre PC.

Silverstone are well known for their innovative design department who have come up with some very interesting products over the past few years.  These include the Fortress and Raven ranges which are quite unlike anything else available on the market.  The Sugo SG09 isn't quite as distinctive in terms of aesthetics as the Fortress and Raven cases but has been cleverly designed to support an array of powerful components within a very small space.

Features

  • Support graphics cards of any length.
  • Support full tower CPU coolers.
  • Support Strider Plus PSUs up to 1000W.
  • Mandatory cable routing design.
  • Ample fan slots for maximum airflow.
  • Motherboard back plate opening behind CPU area for quick cooler assembly.
