Last month there was quite a few new Mini-ITX case reviews. We have been already writing about SilverStone Sugo SG07, Coolermaster Elite 100, Antec ISK 300-150 & 310-150 & Norco ITX-7. Now it is time for another great case from SilverStone. It is Sugo SG05. This case looks to be quite big. But it need to be that because it can fit 2 expansion cards! Moreover, what is not so unusual, it can fit one slim optical drive, one 3.5” hdd, and one 2.5” hdd. Case is ventilated by a 120mm intake fan at 1200rpm.
