Introduction:
Sometimes you want the best of both worlds; you want a small easily tote-able case and all the graphics power of a good gaming caliber rig. I give you the SilverStone SG04, a case that promises to have both small form factor size and the ability to have dual graphics cards. The slight modification I was lucky enough to receive to review was the SG04B-H which will also get a steel handle and a black paint job. Join me while we go over this Small form factor case, I give you the Silverstone SG04B-H.
SilverStone’s take:
“Sugo represents exquisiteness with its line of beautifully crafted small but powerful SFF chassis, and SilverStone’s Sugo SG04 is certainly an exquisite chassis. With the previous venerable Sugo SG03 model as the starting point, the SG04 improves every aspect of the former case from specification to user impression. With additional expansion slots and reversible power supply unit installation design, SG04 owns a superior cooling performance which can support operating dual graphic card (10.5 inch) within it. Adjustable fan positions enable users to devise their own cooling layout as required with the front door helping to reduce noise effectively. Packing with thoughtful features, the SG04 is truly worthy of living up to become another benchmark SFF enclosure.”

That is the quote from Silverstone’s site not Techwarelabs. I agree powerful is not a quality of a case.
line of beautifully crafted small but powerful
How can a case be “powerfull”. What does that mean? Is the case ………..I don’t even know what question to ask. This is so patently ridiculous that it defies logic. Here is a computer case, thats all. Looks like a small to medium case and not outstanding in the least. Powerfull indeed!!
