SG13WB-USA

Very nice case. Paint is well done, and case is easy to take apart. Looks great in the living room as a mini gaming PC. Only RGB is 4 lights on the front panel and they are not distracting.Two things to keep in mind if you are looking at this case. If you are using a 3.5" HD, make sure you have a smaller ATX power supply or a SFX power supply. I have a full size ATX, and the 3.5" drive will not fix.Other is power supply also. The full size ATX power supply is making the PC over heat. I have tired flipping the power supply to face the fan up or down, and have a 140mm front fan, with no luck. I have a SFX power supply coming and will update my review once received.*Update* SFX power supply fixed overheating problem. Running 15c cooler.

My daughter and I built her first computer together, and this was the perfect case for it. (We bought the pink one of course.)

Just want to say that I love this case. It seems that ultra small form factor cases in 2024 have lost a bit of actual small form factor. The SG13 has been around for a long time, but in my opinion is still awesome. It is truly hard to grasp how small this case is until you unbox it. I am by no means an expert PC builder, but built this to replace a 10yr old HT PC and also use for gaming. Silverstone engineered this case quite brilliantly. Many of the reviews I have read state that it takes quite a bit of planning for layout and cable management. I found that is was actually quite simple.This is what I quite easily placed ( I did not find this build to be like stuffing myself into jeans 2 sizes too small). Motherboard-Gigabyte B550I Auros Pro AX, CPU-AMD 7 5800X, Cooler-LiquidMaster AIO 120L Core, RAM-Corsair Vengance LPX 2x16GB 3200MHZ, Storage-Crucial P3 4TB M.2 SSD, Power Supply- SilverStone SX500, GPU-Gigabyte RTX 4060 Eagle OC 8GB. (These parts listed are the order in which they were installed. Tip-attach power supply cables to motherboard headers prior to mounting to case).Highly recommend to use an SFX modular power supply and an AIO cooler to reduce stuffing this with unnecesary cables. The top rails on this case actually perfectly accomodate width of ribbon power supply cables to keep them out of the way. Pictures I attached are prior to graphics card install showing there really is quite a bit of space in this case. After is with the graphics card installed. Eventhough the specs do not officially support this, the Gigabyte RTX 4060 Eagle version is 272mm long, and fits in the case perfectly without needing any modification whatsoever. I went with this GPU because it had 3 fans instead of going with a shorter 2 fan 4060. It was the only 3 fan gpu I found at 272mm. The GPU runs quite cool and most of the time at default settings the fans will not even run because it does not get to warm. I altered the fan profile to actually keep them running at lower temps simply to introduce more air into the case. CPU temps thus far have not exceeded 60c when testing OC settings. CPU is averaging about 35c.The only con I have to mention is really just a nit. The case does not ship with instructions, just a warranty card in the case. Highly recommend downloading the manual from SilverStone website as it tells you precisely the order in which to install the parts. I personally permanently removed the ATX support bracket and the topside drive mount tray that both simply unscrew from the frame. I did not want extra metal warming up the case and obstructing air flow.

Great case, but be aware that calling it "compact" is an understatement.Initially I wanted to run a mini ITX build as my desk space was getting limited in my work bench. I use the bench for modding and as my pc desk, so I opted for something smaller.I had an issue with the Fractal Node case - one of the wires was exposed internally and shorted my powersupply and motherboard, so I did some research and went with this Silverstone.I wasn't expecting something this small internally - I noticed some individuals using a full size graphics card, however I went with a mini ITX form factor GPU 1070, as the more I looked at the dimensions, there was no way I could make it work with a full sized card, and a fan at the front of the case.Needless to say, no matter how well you can do cable management, it's going to go out the window. I'd rephrase it and calling "cable placement" as you can try (and you should) bundle cables where you can.The top of the case has an area for two SSDs, and the bottom features a small area for a third SSD or HDD. Here's where I had an issue.After settling everything inside, I noticed the top of the case wasn't able to clamp down with the two SSDs mounted.The metal detachment holding the SSDs is hardly a bay, it's a piece of metal with screw holes and fanned on the edges so it can slide above the fan, if you opt to install one.I found a workaround, as I had a spare SSD bracket lying around. I cut the end tabs off (saving space wherever possible), and used the SSD bracket on the BOTTOM of the case. Not only are now both SSDs standing vertically at the bottom, behind the motherboard, they are getting airflow, and the case closes fully.Everything in this case is a tight fit, but it was designed with minimalism in mind. There's no other fan port but the single front fan, whether you want intake or exhaust is your option, but your GPU will be facing a grill.If you want to try this case out, feel free, it's very straightforward, but don't expect it to look beautiful internally, unless this is just being used as a simple workstation that has onboard graphics built into the motherboard, otherwise things will get cramped!So far, I've had no issues. Since I work with electronics frequently as a hobby, modding, I swapped the back screws out with thumb screws for more accessibility.Here are my specs for those of you that are interested:Intel i7-6700MSI Intel Skylake H110 LGA 1151 DDR4 USB 3.1 Mini ITX Motherboard (H110I Pro)Noctua Low-Profile Quiet CPU Cooler for Intel 115x Based Retail Cooling NH-L9IKingston Technology HyperX FURY Black 16 GB 2133 MHzGigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 Mini ITX OC 8GB GDDR52x PNY CS2211 480GB Pro Gaming 2.5” SATA III MLCKingwin 140 MM Advance Series Long Life Bearing Fan CaseThe only reason I mention the CPU cooler is due to one reason: temperature.
