a little while back lonus and I built a mini Beast of machine in this
Silverstone sg-13 with an 18 core Intel processor a Titan x dual ssds and other
things the case was able to fit everything which by default made it
awesome considering how big it is so we decided to review it and also don't
forget to stay subscribed to lus Tech tips because scrapyard Wars is finally
coming
back Kingston casc 310 series business grade
ssds feature firmware based power loss protection massive capacities and
performance to spare in fact we're using them for our new production server click
right here to learn more about them starting on the outside of this 220 mm
wide 181 mm tall 285 mm deep 11.5 L 2.4
kg case we have a classy aesthetic that
will dynamically fit into any home theater setup or any computer desk with
ease regardless of whether or not you go with the higher airflow dimpled mesh
version that we have or also the foo
brushed aluminum option just below the mesh on our unit is a Silverstone logo
in the bottom leftand corner with dual USB 3.0 Jacks and dual 3.5 mm audio
jacks on the far right hand side on the left side of the case we see a very
large mesh which should allow for any compatible size graphics cards that's
anything with a length of 10.5 in or below to breathe quite easily also we
see a little bit of breathable mesh for the front intake of the case just along
the side of the front bezel on top of the case is a mostly plain although
there is a fairly sizable mesh on the back where your PSU or other various
incidental case air flow could go through we decided to mount our PSU with
the fan on the bottom to help pull uh air directly from the system so won't
help there but anyways over on the right hand side we have a smaller mesh panel
with incidental airf flow and yet again we see a bit more breathable mesh for
the intake of the case just along the front bezel the back of the case is
pretty simple revealing the cutout for an internally mounted power supply an IO
shield and a little tiny bit air flow meshing just above the externally
secured addin card slots then we get to the bottom which features four nice
little rubber feet which do a pretty good job of keeping the case from sliding around too much even with a fair
amount of force applied and it lifts off lifts it up off the Surface by a little
bit and while this doesn't really help with cooling by much as there's no mesh
on the bottom it does make picking it up that much easier which leaves us with
four pre-cut holes for mounting an SSD on the bottom of the inside of the case
once you remove the outer kind of u-shaped frame you see that the inside
of the case has well not much to be
frank there's a nice steel plate that holds two ssds or one hard drive up and
out of the way near the top of the case which also features two little indented
bits where you can easily plug in the SSD these or one cutout where you can
plug in the hard drive and then we have a little bracket which helps hold up the
power supply so it doesn't bend the frame of the case or droop onto any of
the other components and then which brings us to the 120 mm or 140 mm fan or
radiator mount in the front of the case one word of warning with this is be
careful with the length of your tubing as this can uh cause some issues if you
check this video out from lonus and I building the system we had a hell of a
time getting everything to fit due to the magic of editing you didn't
necessarily see all of that but it did take us quite a long time to get
everything to work without any kinked tubing just trust me it was a bit of a
hassle but worth it considering it worked and in the end we were able to
fit everything in this tiny tiny little case and that's about it other than you
know like motherboard standoffs do I sound
disappointed I'm not I know I might but I'm actually not that's all there is but
that's fine this case actually makes that a good thing with many cases you
can have someone pick it up and you'll know fairly accurately what they're
going to put inside of it with this thing not really other than an ITX
motherboard and a graphics card it's pretty much up in the air do they go
with the super crazy high-end sleeper like system that lion I did with a Titan
X and 32 gigs of RAM and an 18 core processor or do they go with a low power
CPU and something like a 750 Ti because it doesn't take a dedicated power slot
so it doesn't take up that much power at all just sipping power for a home
theater box it's a cheap case but it looks classy as hell and will suit
whatever you decide to put into it so in conclusion like I just said it's cheap
but it feels fairly well built it's small but it fits a lot in it for its
size it lacks an extensive feature set yet somehow accommodates creativity
there's a fantastic and unique feeling of really thinking that the component
you were trying to put into it isn't going to fit even when you line it up
but then having it fit or finding a way to fairly painlessly make it fit every
damn time anyways this isn't a 100 100% unique case there's cases that are very
similar to this but especially at this price point I think it does make quite a
bit of sense all right guys I look a little bit different because I'm actually in the middle of building my
system for scrapyard Wars which is coming soon but I had to pause for a
great message from our friends over at Mass drop they have something a bit
different for you guys today this thing they currently have a drop available for
the Chic smart S1 scooter which is a
self-balancing two wheed electric scooter and it's rated at 12 M of range
on a single charge and is capable of traveling at up to 6 M or 10 km per hour
while you won't be breaking any land speed records necessarily or off-roading
through the hills on this pretty cool thing it's a smooth travel on a smooth
surface and it's a pretty good conversation starter due to its
preserved but interesting appearance of course this is available through massop
which means it's a significantly discounted price thanks to the group by
model essentially the more people that buy it the more the price goes down to a
set minimum with its minimum price being just under 30% below MSRP you can check
out this drop and many others at the link in the description dr.p s/ Linus
techtips so head over there now if you're interested that link doesn't
actually give us a kickback or anything but it does let them know that we sent
you what do you guys think let me know in the comments down below or over on
the Forum before you go to the Forum like dislike favorite subscribe share
follow all that kind of happy fun stuff check out the links in the video
description below this video to see things like lineus Media Group shirts or
even a lanyard I believe and some cool stuff over on the Forum you can see the
helpl Linus Media Group button thing where you can go see how to change your
Amazon affiliate codes or install one of the Forum add-ons which can kind of do
it for you and do a whole bunch of other stuff as well anyways guys thanks for
watching become a contributor on the Forum and I'll see you next
time
