(More customer reviews)I really like the quality of this case. The finish and design are great. You really can fit an 1156 socket cpu like an i5/i7(8xx) into a (slightly bigger than) shoebox-sized case. I really wish the power supply had modular cables, though, so it doesn't get 5 stars.
Building a computer inside this case is quite hard. Do not buy this for your first home-built computer. Cable-routing has no room at all for error, with airflow and parts rubbing together it's a constant challenge. In particular the CPU cooler is a bear. The stock Intel cpu cooler is very noisy in such a small case, and all vertical 3rd-part coolers are too tall, so you need to find a horizontal heatsink that's just the right geometry for your motherboard. I ended up with a COOLER MASTER Vortex Plus but tolerances are tight in all directions. It doesn't need its own fan, however, since the big top-fan that is part of this case blows directly down on it from less than 2 inches away.

The Sugo SG07, with a size that slots in between the venerable SG01 Micro-ATX SFF case from 2005 and the SG05, a powerful Mini-ITX case released in 2009, was designed to take the Mini-ITX platform to a whole new level. It is twice as powerful as the SG05 but only 37% bigger. Its custom 600W power supply, which is rated up to 50 degree celsius with 80 PLUS Bronze level efficiency and single +12V rail, was carefully chosen and optimized for SG07. Exhaustive testing was conducted to create unique VGA fan duct and exhaust vents that enable SG07 to not only accommodate the longest consumer graphics cards physically (up to 12.2 inches/310mm) but also capable of supporting graphics thermal profile of up to 400W through overclocking. For the CPU and motherboard area, a record-breaking use of 180mm fan (bigger than the Mini-ITX motherboard!) with vortex generating design was utilized to provide possibility of fanless CPU cooling of up to 95W (via CPU cooler such as SilverStone\'s NT06-E). But despite having tremendous amount of cooling performance, the SG07 is easy to maintain as well. It employs positive pressure layout with all intake areas fitted with removable filters so dust will not accumulate inside. If the goal is to make the ultimate Mini-ITX system, the SG07 is hard to beat.
