SilverStone SUGO 14

Darksaber · Nov 3, 2020

The SilverStone Sugo 14 is not just another rehashed SFF cube. It has been designed to offer the best of all worlds when it comes to an ITX chassis. The Sugo 14 has amazing hardware support. You may install a long triple-slot graphics card, a large tower cooler, an ATX PSU, and 240 mm radiator.

Love it. This is going to be my next case

A strong contender for my next HTPC/gaming rig. I really like the ability to use an ODD and the magnetically attached mesh dust filters.

I wish this was available 2 years ago when I bought my current case, as this one is absolutely what I wanted rather then the TJ-08B-E which is quite a bit bigger then I actually needed. Maybe when I go an upgrade again I'll pick one up and transfer my NAS into into the TJ instead.

Would it be possible to fit a 240mm (on the side) AND a 120mm (on the top) radiators into that case?
I Own a Fractal Core 500, which could fit only one 240mm radiator. I would love the possibility to fit two, since i belive only 240 would not be sufficient for CPU and GPU custom loop.

"USB 2.0 port feels out of place"

If that's there purely to try and find some negative for 'review balance', I'd say the case is pretty good overall considering it's obviously all about maximum expandability / flexibility. (Hint: I think the point of it is, you can leave a wired game controller / wireless keyb-mouse / FLIRC, etc, dongles permanently plugged in thus freeing up the other two ports for bandwidth heavy stuff). It's nice to see a manufacturer come up with something beyond just being the 865th "it must have tempered glass / window + LED, it must have 2x front USB ports maximum, it mustn't have any drive bays, etc" copy-paste clone.

Cool case with good cooling similar priced as the CM NR200. It's a pity it doesn't support an SFX psu (no adapter?). BTW, If you install an ODD will the psu still have (fresh) air intake?

According to the website you can mount 1x 240 rad and 1x 120 rad in it.

Huh I missed that. Looks to be that way, customer support recommends buying a PP08 adapter :wtf:

No big deal but kinda odd to leave it out in a mITX case

Looks interesting, another extremely flexible option from Silverstone.

I've built loads of Sugos but they're normally chosen because they're the smallest thing available on the mass market. This is big and fat, which kind of defeats the purpose of getting a Sugo in the first place.

SG06, SG13 - both 11L when this thing is 20L

IMO there will be a few people who will absolutely love this case but what the market actually wants isn't something Silverstone offer. Instead they leave the Dan A4, NCase M1, and CM NC100/NR200 to dominate the market for small footprint upright cases.

The footprint of this Sugo14 is big enough that anyone interested in that size could just get any mATX or compact ATX build and achieve the same thing, without the complexity and awkwardness of a Sugo non-standard form factor.

I actually like the extra USB port for this very reason.
When I want to connect my PC to my mobile phone for 4G internet access, I hate to have to use one of the high-speed front-panel USB 3.0 ports.
If the case had 1/2 more "utility" USB ports, that'd have been great for me.
