Mini-ITX.
Looks nice, similar layout to the custom case being worked on here.
mATX
It's exactly the same layout as the SG09.
Why in gods name do they keep forcing slim slot-load drives?
In a SFF case, why waste the space for 5.25" bay when most people don't even use opticals anymore.
i use optical drives for back ups of data off my hard drive.
Why you are "forced" (you don't have to buy the case, you know) to go for a slimline drive ?Why in gods name do they keep forcing slim slot-load drives?
I recommend you switch to a more stable storage solution. Optical discs tend to become unreadable over time, especially with discs not made in Taiwan or Japan. You're better off with multiple copies on multiple internal hard drives or one copy on your internal hard drive and one on an external USB drive or network drive. And even that is not safe "enough" if a fire breaks out or your house gets the visit from burglars.i use optical drives for back ups of data off my hard drive.
Yeah I made that step when I purchased my mATX case and I've never looked back. I have needed it twice in the last year and it was because my boot disk stopped working twice. I didn't even have to have it, but I didn't have a USB stick with Windows 7 installer back then.I wish they'd just get rid of any DVD drive slots because a large amount of people rarely use them anymore. If I ever need to use one I'd just get a USB DVD/Blu-Ray drive.
If you had actually bothered to read what I wrote, I don't mind having a slim drive. I do mind being forced to use a SLOT LOAD slim drive. One is easy to find, the other is not.
Because tray-loading drives look absolutely ugly. Still, nobody is forcing you.

I think external dvd-rw drives are a good alternative to sff systems, like the Fractal Node 304
runs2far:
The top fan is an intake fan. This way, the only exhaust fans are the rear fan and the psu fan.
OK, the first article gave the impression that all the fans were exhaust.
I hope SilverStone and reviewers will take this into account before they decide to ruin this concept.
And here I am, waiting for an update to the SG05, seems there won't be one for a while.

This case makes mATX look like ITX. Winner.
This.They updated it last year with USB 3.0.
I personally would rather sacrifice highest end performance for smaller sizes. Besides losing the ODD, I would like to see fewer SFF cases accommodate full sized ATX PSUs. The better quality 450W SFX PSUs can already handle a quad core and a single high end GPU along with some overclocking.
even a 300W PSU could power a highend system, but forum enthsiasts doesn't follow this ambition.

If Seasonic or someone else came out with a platinum, fanless SFX PSU it would be perfect.
Looks nice.
Do you think I could overclock an i5 3570K to 4ghz in this thing?
So, is this case recommended for gpu's that don't take the air out of the case by themselves? I've got 2 x GTX460 that are non-reference, and thus If this would work properly I think the case is perfect for my needs.
