Silverstone Sugo 13 (SG13) Overview

I've been really into ITX build these days and when I saw the Silverstone Sugo 13, I was instantly drawn by it. Now that I was able to secure one for myself, I'll happily give my quick overview for the SG13.

Silverstones' Sugo series specializes in Box type ITX cases similar to what we have here right now. The SG13 is their latest case from the Sugo lineup and what you will notice is that this case is freaking small even for an ITX standard.

Specifications

  • Dimensions (mm) 222 x 285 x 181 (W x D x H)
  • Material Steel, plastic
  • Weight 2.47kg
  • Front panel Power, 2 x USB 3, stereo, microphone
  • Drive bays 1 x internal 2.5in, 2 x internal 2.5in/1 x 3.5in
  • Cooling 1 x 120mm front fan mount (fan not included)
  • CPU Cooler Height 61mm or a little bit higher if using SFX
  • Maximum graphics card length 267mm / 10.5 inches


Packaging & What's Inside
The box comes with the case itself, manual for it and as well as spare screws for the case. The SG13 comes with two styro support for its cushioning. Not the best one that i saw but it will do the job alright since the case is really light. It doesn't come with case fans also, so you will be needing to your own one.

Exterior Overview

The case is a box type that has two usb 3.0 port and as well as audio jack. Top panel has vent for intake for the psu while side and front vents for the case airflow.

Interior Overview

Can't say much what is inside since the SG13 is really empty. But what is amazing about is that the placing for the components are pretty great.

Conclusion

The SG13 is a very good itx case that is worth your money. It is small yet you can put a strong system inside with adequate airflow
