hello guys welcome back to her on the hardware canucks review those with interest in smallest chassis for either mini ITX or DTX motherboards here's a small form-factor chassis from silverstone this is the SG 0-6 450 which is a part of the suger series which aims at reducing the sizing of the enclosure while still being able to handle a decent configuration this particular model comes with a 450 watt power supply with an 80 plus bronze certification this chassis is actually the smallest of the suger series perfect for home theater pcs although although steep with a price of $150 we have a nice aluminum front panel and steel for the rest of the construction for the front one slim optical drive can be installed then we have two USB ports unfortunately not USB three ready audio ports hard drive a clear lights and your power button now unfortunately for slim optical drives the SATA connection is different from your regular five-and-a-quarter optical drive you must purchase the proper doctor to convert the standard slim laptop DVD or CD drive into a compatible SATA power and data connection they're quite rare to find an silverstone expects you to buy their drive just to get the adapter the front panel also has side and bottom ventilation to the included 120 millimeter intake fan which is protected by a dust filter take a look at the back we have the power supply a reset button two expansion slots and your i/o area now this chassis is equipped with fair ventilation all around allowing for positive pressure cooling delivering cool air from the front and exhausting it through the back opening of the chassis unfortunately not with thumb screws you have to remove both the optical drive bay along the hard drive bay in order to start the assembly now you will need a screwdriver throughout the assembly and considering the size in this case a more convenient approach with thumb screws is more appropriate the optical Bei mount has rubber grommets in the cable cutouts to prevent any damage or cutting of the wires amount of a 2.5 inch drive is available right underneath the optical Bay and it is slightly oversized to support the velociraptors as well now for the power supply it has all the connectors you need in order to install a system into such a small case and they are all graded so let's begin with the assembly this service supports graphics cards up to 9 inches long which in itself is adequate for a home theater PC and supports CPU heatsink of 82 millimeters in height which is the retail box coolers that are included with your processor now when wiring all the cables there isn't any dedicated cable management space and this could reduce the airflow throughout the case but storing all the cables closer to the side panel is suggested some of the accessories included with the case are the cable clamp that will work best to tidy of all the front panel connectors and for adhesive rubber feet now when you install the hard drive Bay inside the case there isn't any room to handle cables with your graphics cards installed so we recommend either inserting the card in the end or connect all the appropriate cables to the hard drive before it is placed inside the chassis now fully assemble this tiny case handles really well and making sure the cables stay clear of the intake fan cooling is directed both of the GPU and your CPU heatsink over all the sg0 six is quite impressive for its size making it extremely portable and with a decent cooling configuration it has support for SSDs and GPUs in length of nine inches but on a downside we would have liked to see more tools approach towards assembly maybe using thumb screws instead of regular screws would be more convenient and focusing a little bit more on cable management options as the cable cutter will affect the airflow and the fact that you must purchase the adapter to convert the slim optical drive SATA into regular SATA and power connection is inconvenient and silverstone expects you to purchase one of their drives in order to get the adapter it would have been nice if they included this adapter as part of the case accessories so if you are on the market for the smallest possible form practice chassis Silverstone's sg0 6 may be a good option thank you guys for watching and we'll see you next one
