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.
We have received an email from NORCO about their new Mini-ITX Case. It is called ITX-7 and it looks pretty nice. It have been build with 1mm SECC Steel. What is really great there are 60w 12v DC adapter + DC to ATX board included! It is fanless and noisless (unfortunately the case isn’t). Anyway this case is looking very nice thanks of sliding open front cover with changeable front panel picture! It may be really good choice for small HTPC to put next to your TV.
