    Silverstone SG09 - worlds smallest mATX case to take a full sized graphics card??

    It has a volume of only 23L:

    However,it can only take 2.5" drives,although it might be possible to modify the case to take 3.5" drives. Also,I am uncertain about the appearance of the case too.

    I really like the layout, it's just the front that spoils it... Would be a close 10/10 for me if it had a face like the TJ08.

    That is a very cool case. I would have seriously considered that vs the FT03 I wound up buying.

    Re: Silverstone SG09 - worlds smallest mATX case to take a full sized graphics card??


    Is it just me or when that panel is on the fan will be blowing into the exhaust of the psu?

    and having a crossflow cpu cooler with a bigass air penetrator above it seems a bit silly too.

    Still when you see how packed that is, modding a 3.5" drive in there is going to be hard and brings up the issue of short psu cables being a good thing in a small build.

    Re: Silverstone SG09 - worlds smallest mATX case to take a full sized graphics card??

    It does look like the correct spacing on the holes for two 3.5" drives, but it doesn't look like there's enough depth.

    although 4x 2.5" would be plenty you could have a couple of ssd's in raid0 for silly speed and a couple of laptop sized hard drives for a bit of storage.

    Not keen on the front - but the layout I Like!!!!
