Silverstone has taken the SG09 a step into a different direction from the rest of the Sugo series. All recent cases in that range are mini-ITX cases, but the SG09 can hold an mATX board. Don't let the naming fool you though. This is an impressively roomy chassis for its size. Silverstone has done everything they could to squeeze as much hardware into the case; they even went as far as they could with SG09's hard drive bays, which may have been too far for the taste of some. You will need proper cables to really make use of all six drive bays behind the motherboard tray. The other drawback is the lack of an eject button for the slimline optical drive and the case's glue-on feet, but neither is a real deal-breaker. The Sugo SG09 does manage to deliver on everything it advertised while pushing the envelope on efficiently used space; that is, if you come prepared to spend some time on the assembly process by stuffing as much as you can into the chassis. Pretty cool, even if the case is not the most beautiful one.
