Hey guys,
I am looking to downsize my current rig to mATX because I really do not need a full size tower (CM690). I am looking to keep my basic setup, maybe upgrade my graphics card to a GTX285 in the future.

What I want to know from you is
1. What motherboard is good to use? I am not concerned about OCing as I do not want high temps.
I do gaming, internet surfing, movie watching, word processing, etc

2. What is a good Sugo case series to go with - especially one that will be able to fit the GTX285. Also what other cases are available that are similar to the Sugo series.

3. Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
 
I know the SG03 fits any card and I think the SG02F does as well.

According to Silverstone's site, the SG03, and the SG04 both can fit up to 10.5" cards (GTX285). The F version SG01 & 02 can fit up to 12" cards.

Yep, correct. My former SG01F swallowed GTX 200 with no issues

I thought the SG01 did not and the SG02 did. I havent used either. Just the SG03. Thanks for the correction. :)
 
i think there might have been a difference in the HDD cage design between the SG01 and SG02 that allowed for larger cards to be installed IIRC

Correct, the older SG01 SW aluminum series has the fan on the other side of the HDD case, making it impossible for larger cards

The redone SF steel/aluminum series allows for larger cards
