True to the Sugo line, this one is designed to pack peak power parts into a compact chassis. Inside, for example, you can fit a full-size ATX power supply, three 2.5-inch drives, a 240mm liquid cooler, and a triple-slot graphics card up to 13 inches long, all at the same time. (Other possible combinations can include larger drives, including even a legacy 5.25-incher.) The case has a few downsides and isn’t the easiest to build in, but the low price and positive aspects more than make up for these shortcomings. Small-PC builders keen to stuff as much powerful hardware inside should give it a long look.
THE DESIGN: A MINI-ITX POWER BOX
The Sugo 14 measures 8.5 by 9.7 by 4.5 inches and has a volume of 19.55 liters. It’s roughly the size of a large shoebox. Most of the PC cases I review are towers—full ATX cases—and it’s amusing to think that this entire case would fit inside of some of my old test chassis and still have room left over.
The case is available in either a black or white color scheme; both have an offset gold line down the front to add a little contrast. The front panel, as well as the bottom panel, are the only faces of this case that don’t come perforated to increase air flow.
