SilverStone Sugo Series SG09B Black Steel / Plastic MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case

Pros: Lots of drive options if you plan ahead, great cooling, small size packs a full sized system.

Cons: Power adapter wrong angle, slot load optical drive, front filter keeps falling off.

Other Thoughts: As lots of others have mentioned the angle of the power cord is backwards. They should have used a left hand angle connector instead of a right angle one. Poor design by Silverstone in this area. Minus 2 egg for having to splice in a proper connector.

Pros: Small Case with design for a full size psu
Great cooling
refined look
still light with components in it
Can fit very high end components

Cons: Initial setup.

Other Thoughts: This case i bought for a computer that can easily be taken places and home, but have more processing power than my laptop. WIth an I5, two 660s, 1000w psupply, Hypercool 212 cpu cooler, and 3 hard drives, it will play anything i need it too and wont go over 35 degrees C. The case is smaller than i expected, which is great, and not too heavy for easy transportation. I didnt put more fans in since i havent OCed it at all. The only time I ever thought anything negative about this case is when i was putting everything in it.

My only suggestion to buyers is, get everything you want for it, and do it in one sitting. Dont try adding or changing things later. Only thing that looks easy to add later is a second video card, just run the power hooks up when you set it up.

Pros: As stated in the manual, it's about as much as anyone has ever stuffed into a 23 liter space.

Included fans are very quiet.

Hard drives are held very securely.

Looks nice.

Includes black powered coated screws (very cool)

Cons: All of my complaints so far deal with the power supply. It's a non-standard. The part than normally faces the rear of the case faces to the cases own rights.

If you have a power supply with a the-prong power plug receptacle long direction aligned with the long direction of the face it's on, and it's within 1/2-3/4 an inch of the short edge of the supply's case, then you will have to either dremel out some structural parts of the case of forgo the use of the 120mm side fan.; depending on which way you face the PSU's fan. I ended up forgoing the fan since I'm bought the case for a low-wattage system.

Also there's no space to tuck unused cables coming off the power supply, unless you go ahead and pass them through to the motherboard side of things.

Getting a flat IDE cable to properly pass from the drive side to the motherboard side is also a bit tricky, but I understand it shouldn't be a common issue.

Pros: Highly engineered design
Rounded corners, black finish
Supports full length GPU + CPU cooler
4 x 2.5" drives + 2 x 3.5" drives
ATX PSU

Cons: The case cover can be a pain to put on, especially if not using short/ modular cables. There are 2 pieces that must interlock together: the side GPU vent panel + 3-side main cover. There are also a few thumbless screws that sit flush.
Not tool-less as I have grown accustomed in the Lian-Li line.
The looks of the front grill are love it or hate it and is plastic made to look like brushed aluminum. It has grown on me and honestly looks much better in person. I'm happy to have the SG09 sitting on my desk.

Other Thoughts: I had initially decided to hold out for the SG10 which will have a redesigned front panel when released sometime in Q2 '13. After looking at the two side by side for a long time I prefer the looks of the SG09.

The Silverstone ST55F 550W PSU + short cable kit worked well in this case although I didn't use many cables from the PP05 kit. Using a select few from the higher-end PP07 line would be a better option.

The ST55F sits mounted off-center to the left so the PSU fan is clearly not aligned and leaves a gap to the right side. Not a huge deal but something to be aware of if you go with a 140mm PSU.

Mobo sits flush, 212 EVO fits fine with plenty of room above RAM, silverstone fans are high quality and the positive air method works fine for cooling. DO NOT use SATA cables with 90-degree bends as they interfere with the back panel of the case cover.

My build:
SG09
ST55F
Asus Maximus V Gene
Intel Core i7 3770K
32GB Crucial Ballistix VLP
Samsung Pro 840 SSDs
Seagate ES for data
eVGA GTX 670

With these components my PC barely breaks 200W at full load. Anyone wondering if 550w is enough...yes it is.

Pros: 1)Massive space for a Massive CPU cooler. Using a Asrock z77Pro-M with a Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E on a I7 3770k.
2) Nice slick setup - enabling the creation of a 'Black Box that Rocks'
3) I went with the upgrade for the top fan SILVERSTONE Air Penetrator AP182 180mm Case Fan - extra 170cfm of air (it is finger biter of a fan) +recommend+
4) Plenty of space for long graphic card
5) Multiple way to place your PSU to maximize your cable length. Did not seem to affect the PSU temp, mainly because of the AP182 air flow
6) Nice to see a case where you dont need to buy tiny cpu coolers.
7) You can use the space along the edge on the 180mm to hide cable routes.
8) The top fan even allows a slot for air cooling into the HD bays.

Cons: Now these are more FYIs and issues
1) The Slim CD/DVD/Bluray rom HAS to be a SLOT load.
2) I had to tear out the dust catch on the CD rom slot . Was getting caught in the loader
3) I wish they would had screw slots for inside the case for extra drives. I am using RAID 5 (4 HDs) with SSD for a boost.
4) You have to be careful on the size of PSU / I was using a SeaSonic M12D SS-850 150mm L however I needed more space so I switched a Enermax Liberty 140mm Length (So go with 150mm max unless you have extremely flexable cable or 140mm for extra space to tuck the extra cables into the PSU bay.

Other Thoughts: I recommend this case to anyone that want to OC a m-atx board. Overall it is solid however they do use plastic more often than in other Sugo cases I have owned.

-As I stated you need to buy a slot loader Rom (no buttons for eject are allowed)
-As I stated careful about PSU size <150mm
-Buy a upgraded fan Silverstone 180mm AP182
-Buy a 3way 3pin fan cable for the 3 fans that go on the GPU cover.
-If you are looking to have 5 HDs, you can support 2 3.5HDs and 2 2.5SSDs. You will need to mount the extra HD(s) in the case under the PSU. I punched a couple holes in the front to mount a 2HD bay device.

Pros: Bought case elsewhere, but had to comment -- GREAT case layout. Lots of room for biggest coolers and GPUs. Excellent fans and cooling. Professional reviews on this case are not helpful -- it is not ugly, top down air flow fan works better than suggested reversing the top fan. Nice configuration for 1-4 SSDs and 2 HDs.

Cons: Not the usual Silverstone refinement!!!!!!! Silverstone, please re-do this case! Lid goes together very difficultly, needs longer sliding catches. PSU cable is too long and had to modify PSU plug to bend quickly enough to make space for side fan. External PSU plug should be recessed rather than tacked on back. Stick on case feet not tall enough, and real cheap. Had difficultly getting slot drive to eject properly. Power/Reset buttons poorly done, super cheap.

Other Thoughts: Back fan not needed; use two 92mm side fans along with the 120, for great cooling. This case begs for a handle, but haven't figured how to mod one/two on it yet. Used fan-less PSU, but had to close off some mesh (used sound dampening material) for air to flow into PSU.

Pros: This little case has allot of space for all full size components. I had plenty of room to put a custom water cooling loop. I also had a Noctura NH-D14 cooler previously which fit nicely.

The cable routing is excellent and it is very easy to keep the case looking neat and tidy.

Assembly was quite easy, much easier that I expected.

Cons: Like others have mentioned the power chord for the PSU may be in the way of the 120mm fan depending on your PSU. I was able to open my PSU and rotate the connector by 180. However, this will void the PSU warranty and was somewhat challenging.

The front panel grill is an eyesore.

Pros: Large size fans for quiet operation. USB 3 ports.

Cons: Requires non standard power supply (I had to get rid of one fan because the end cap of internal power supply cable would collide with it). One of the fans is exposed to the top of the case, making the computer prone to flooding.

Other Thoughts: I have put many systems together using Antec, SilverStone, Asus and other less known brand cases. This is a big mid tower case, very wide, yet it feels that there is a lack of space when putting things in. I would only recommend it to people who have special needs such as large video cards or need space for special cooling systems. I feel that it's not worth the money.

Pros: What isn't great about this little beast! It does in fact fit an H80, but with a very tight squeeze on the pcb of the first gpu.. Still, it fits. It'll do SLI, just manage your cables and even the biggest cards will fit if they are both dual slot. Running an i5 3570k, gtx 670, 1 3.5" and 2 2.5" drives, and a full sized PSU. IT still has no trouble with all the bulk. Just make sure you buy or already own a modular power supply, preferably a 160mm from Silverstone using their short cables, it will be a dream to work with compared to the standard. Enjoy!

Cons: Tight fitment of the H80, considering moving towards a different air cooler because I just don't feel comfortable having my gpu so tight against it.

Other Thoughts: i5 3570k - Corsair h80-
EVGA GTX 670 FTW
16gb Corsair Dominator Platinum
Corsair HX750
Asus Maximus V Gene
All fans installed in case, still quiet

Pros: A genius use of space. The case is solid, feels secure, and every single inch has been thought through.

Cons: 1 Con: the reset and power buttons on the front are difficult to press and see. The mic and headphone jacks are labeled....in black etching against black.

Other Thoughts: Not a con - it says "not for beginners" or something similar right on the box. This is not your case if it's your first build. It's a lot like playing tetris with multiple thousands of dollars of computer hardware....but the end result is well worth it.
