Silverstone took the SG07 and evolved it by going all out with the thick aluminum front panel I lovingly call "the slab". This case doesn't just look awesome; its internals also manage to impress. Silverstone has included a 600W PSU with specifications that rival that of their Essential Plus series, which retails for 80 Euros on its own. That brings the price of the chassis down to a much more humane 120 Euros in the grand scheme of things. With the ability to still fit 12.2 inch long graphics cards, one could even install dual-GPU based units within the SG08, and, even though it is extremely compact with only 14.8 liters of volume, the case offers enough space for three hard drives, plenty of space for good low profile coolers, and the slimline optical bay. Temperatures shouldn't be an issue either with the 180 mm Air Penetrator pushing cool air down into the case right above the motherboard, although it doesnt have any other fans.
