SilverStone tried their hand at a SFF case - and we like what we see.

We've taken a look at quite a few SilverStone products by now, and each of them have had little quirky things about them from being rotated 90°, to being something you use to game with!

This one is also a little different (you'll get that one in a second), being a Small Form Factor case designed to house a miniaturised mATX or ITX mobo.

Some might look at the case and scoff but another school of thought says it's not the size of the case, it's what you put in it. SilverStone happen to reckon it can fir a 1000W power supply, two 10.5" long graphics cards and enough fans to cool them!

Jump into the gallery to see if you think all that tech can go in there, and check out an upcoming Issue of Atomic to see what we think of it!

Oh, no, Justin has started spelling his name . Confusing, I know. But he's like that sometimes.

Seems like a neat little case. From the looks of it quite solid as well.

Thank god that handle is removable because it looks butt ugly!

azn and Truck: That handle, though ugly, is as solid as it looks, and we've no doubt that you can jam as much tech into as you want, and it would still be luggable.

It really is an awesome LAN case.

the internals look a lot identical to those of the SG03 (which i have and love)

but, after having built in one, i can assure you, they are VERY VERY cramped, but oh so worth it.

The only difference between the SG03 and the SG04 is that the SG04 has a handle and a different fascia; otherwise there exactly the same but, you will pay at least an extra $50 more for the SG04 over the SG03.

I bought a SG03 and love it but, I could not recommend the SG04 over the 03 to anybody as I just don’t think it is worth the extra doe. Well that’s my opinion.

Anyone know if this case is actually available anywhere? Every vendor I've contacted with the item listed have with a NFI as to when they'll actually get stock.
