SilverStone SG01 review

Verdict

An interesting approach that's executed extremely well, but its compromise between small and standard form factors leaves it in an awkward middle ground

Review Date: 22 Sep 2005

Reviewed By: David Bayon

Price when reviewed: (£141 inc VAT) delivery £10 (£12 inc VAT)

Overall Rating
4 stars out of 6

The SG01 is an intriguing idea, and one that offers much more freedom and future-proofing than the usual SFF chassis. But we can't help but feel it doesn't really belong anywhere: if you want the power and options of full-sized components there are desktop cases available that have a much slimmer footprint and aren't that much taller than the SG01. It may appeal to the LAN party crowd, as it's portable and the brushed aluminium makes it sturdy, but at this price it just isn't the new beginning it could have been.
