Anyone know if a 290 will fit in it?

Yep, your build log is what got me wanting another mITX shoebox case! That E130 with the Monsta rad is nuts.Originally Posted by hyp36rmax
This is truth, I had to offset my radiator a few mm to the right for clearance by slotting the fan mounting holes on my SG05.

An SFX adpater plate isn't hard, and I think the case even includes one.
Here's a quote I found from Tony Ou:

With the mesh front, an offset 140mm fan hole would have made a lot of sense.

So it sounds like a 140mm rad encroaches on the GPU still.

They should have done two versions, like the CM HAF 915F and 915R. I for one want a top mounted 240mm rad and front mount PSU, and there's no reason that should be so difficult.Originally Posted by phantommaggot
Would be nice if they used a front mounted SFX setup similar to my sg10. Then a person could use some bigger air coolers.

With the case being 222mm wide, moving a 140mm fan hole away from the GPU side would have made everyone's life a lot easier. Having a solid mesh front means no ruined aesthetics like the SG05 would have had with an offset fan hole.Originally Posted by phantommaggot
Considering how many people use AIO coolers in the SG05 you'd think silverstone would understand the 140mm rad needs to fit to make people happy -_-

$40 is about the top end for me, but I still want to verify I can fit a 140mm rad up front along with a long GPU.

I'd pay $15+ more just to have one, this delay is annoying.

What's with the front fan mount? Not sure what that curve is trying to accomplish.
I'm still hesitant about the custom WC support, I have a feeling that the PSU is going to pinch off where tubes would be run from the GPU, and limit the height of a CPU block. I'm becoming more of a fan of front-PSU mounts because of this.

Still looks kinda odd. I'm just hoping I can use something like an MCR140-X without hitting the GPU. Will definitely have to see some build logs before I pull the trigger.Originally Posted by weredawg
Perhaps they're trying to add more rigidity and/or it's a way to accommodate either 120mm or 140mm fan options

Lots of info there. Sounds like you're definitely screwed if you try to use a 140mm rad up there...Originally Posted by weredawg
I think its was their best way of accommodating AIO coolers as they repeatedly mention using those kinds of coolers in this case for best results.

The problem is that using a 140mm rad is confirmed to hit the GPU area. So the advantage of the SG13's GPU cutout is lost.
You're just as good with a modded SG05 in that case.

I've never seen a rad that allows screws to go all the way through, you'd have to put a fan in between and get creative with a screwdriver. Unfortunately it looks like a custom loop isn't going to be simple so an AIO is your best bet.Originally Posted by darealist
I wonda if I can stack 2 rads in da frontz.

Most people use the front as an intake. I do as well unless I've also got a radiator on there. Then I flip the fan and exhaust out the front. Many will tell you that's wrong because it defies convention, but I think it's dumb to take all the heat on that radiator and blow it right back on your components.

If it will fit, I think the MCR140X would be perfect for this case:
Yep, the only two "case fans" you'll have to work with are the front 140mm and whatever the power supply has.Originally Posted by enthrax
Hi Guys,
Apologies for the noob question but I am planning on building an itx system soon and was planning on getting the node 304 previously until i saw the sg13.
I dont understand how the AIO cooler placement in the front works. With the radiator and fan in that position, will that mean that the exhaust will be in front? or it will serve as an air intake? but if it is the latter, then there is no other place to put another fan to serve as an exaust?
Thanks!

It's not impossible! I'm still waiting to see how things are going to work with a 140mm rad up front. SS makes it sound like a 140mm will move into the GPU area, which I think is a terrible design choice.Originally Posted by darealist
I want to stack a h60 and a h55 in the front lol.

I'm probably crazy, but does anyone else think this case is too tall? With an AIO or low-profile CPU cooler, you could bring the PSU all the way down and drop like an inch off the case. Something like this:
It makes more sense to go back to an SFX PSU but a ATX-size will still be possible. By my calculations, a 120mm fan will still fit up front as well. The side-mount and floor-mount 2.5" drives are still workable too.

Wow, my fears are confirmed with the 140mm holes. Feels like a bad design decision to me, but then again I would think Silverstone knows more about cases than I do! Hopefully the 140mm mount can be modded over so as not to block the GPU.Originally Posted by weredawg
Found a running build log with this case! The only thing missing is the PSU. Looks fantastic already.

I'm still convinced that a 140 mm radiator actually could fit up front without blocking the GPU. The IO plate on the rear is 158 mm, I think that's a good ballpark as to the usable width up front. That's a conservative number as well, since the case side and GPU are spaced a little off that.
The MCR140-X is 140 mm when mounted upright. In interviews with Swiftech they are adamant about the rad being no wider than a fan for case compatibility. The SG13 is 181 mm tall, so height is fine as well. I guess I'll just have to drill some holes in the case if I want to use a long GPU and 140 mm loop.
I wouldn't mess with it. The stuff might dissolve your pump impeller!Originally Posted by X-mass
any thoughts - avoid Or experiment?
