The one here on OCN actually goes by the name "Silverstone". I don't think that is Tony since on [H] forums he goes by TonyOu.

Use the @ button!

@SilverStone: do you know when the SG13 will be released?

Handy.

I ordered an SG05 now anyway but will most likely swap to this whenever its available in europe.

 

[Tomv9]

Silverstone rep said it would probs be available in Q4 2014 for about 35-40$ in North America.

Any idea what the front fan situation is? It says 140mm or 120mm and I'm hoping that allows for decent rad placement. The SG05 often ended up with the rad wanting to hit the backside of the GPU.

The artice says a TD03 will fit, and that's by no means a small AIO.

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.

Yep, your build log is what got me wanting another mITX shoebox case! That E130 with the Monsta rad is nuts.

 

[kaivorth]

This is the case I've been waiting for. I think this will finally give me the nudge I need to get an ITX motherboard and just do it.

 

[phantommaggot]

I'm probably the only person upset they went with full size PSU.
They just released the 600w SFX and they introduced a new size SFX PSU with a 120mm fan.

 

[SilkyZ]

oh no, I'm ticked off about it too. I was really hoping for a SFX in that case to allow for some more clearance.

This will be my new case since my laptop is now being 'stable'. Once this case launches, its new build time! (I will also try to water-cool it eventually)

 

[Dyson Poindexter]

An SFX adpater plate isn't hard, and I think the case even includes one.

Here's a quote I found from Tony Ou:
Quote:

Like the FT03-MINI, SG13 shares the same internal base structure with SG05 so they are offset the same. In the SG13, we made it easier for user to fit even a 140mm AIO too (with some sacrifices to room for graphics card and drive space).

The SG13 will likely see general availability in Q4 timeframe.

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

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

 

[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 a few random cases in their lineup that are completely radical in design, it just seems kind of lame they build something pretty much similar to everything else on the market...

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 -_-

Both the 450 and 600 SFX PSUs come with adapters where you can place them in ATX fitted slots so no need to get new afaptors.

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.

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.

Aye, but they usually center the SFX in the ATX size hole, which isn't helping as much as having it pushed all the way to the top would.

I'm also a little disappointed by this. Oh well, I'll reuse my PSU then so less money wasted. Just need to buy the right fans for this case.

I have traveled in airplanes with my cases so the shoebox shape of the Fractal Node 130, this and the Sgo7 and 8 etc are perfects to put in a rolling duffel. I did not consider the Sg05 because of the 10 inch limit on graphics cards. This case will be hot now because there is no sfx case out there that can touch the size and power of this one. Because of all the holes to breathe on this case. I also like simple
one 140mm fan, one ssd, one graphics card, one sfx modular and thin cable kit, this thing will be small, portable, powerful, and clean.
Also add some leds in there and look good too. What else do you need you can put a titan in here.

Silverstone now that you have updated this Sg05 would be even better if you updated the Ft03-mini! Allow it to hold a larger video card and drop the optical drive cage these are my two favorite cases now ( also the Sg07 which needs a lite version)

 

[Dyson Poindexter]

I just wish they would release it!

 

[Kokin]

Me too!

To be fair, more powerful cards are getting smaller and smaller (ex. GTX970). I don't expect the X80, X80 Ti and up cards to become half-length cards anytime soon but a 970 is already pretty damn good.

Of course, if you're willing to accept near flagship, not flagship.
