Lian-Li & SilverStone mini-ITX Case Reviews
APH Networks and Benchmark Reviews have reviewed two mini-ITX cases from premium manufacturers Lian-Li and SilverStone.
Let's see what they had to say:
- APH Networks: Lian-Li PC-Q07 mITX Computer Case:
"From the beautiful all-aluminum construction, to its incredible lightness, combined with Lian-Li levels of quality and refinement, the PC-Q07 is an excellent mini-ITX chassis. It is simple, yet functional. It is very light and has tons of ventilation openings, yet still incredibly solid. Its build quality is impeccable, as you'd expect from Lian-Li. It even has a removable motherboard tray! It even has all the room to accommodate a standard ATX power supply, an 5.25" drive, and an internal 2.5"/3.5" disk -- although one could argue that it is both a positive and a negative at the same time. For positives, you don't need to buy any specialized components for your mITX system. For negatives, the case cannot be potentially as small. But what the Lian-Li PC-Q07 features is surprising versatility and room to work with, despite physical space limitations -- it's actually pretty packed when everything is installed."

- Benchmark Reviews: SilverStone SUGO SG06 mini-ITX Case Review:
"The SilverStone SUGO SG06 mini-ITX case is well suited to its purpose. It's small, compact, light design caters to the aesthetically minded. Its 300W power supply caters to those who want more than a simple HTPC. It accommodates a 9" video card and a taller than average CPU cooler as well. All these features help move this case from the simple HTPC or light duty home computer arena into a more advanced enthusiast region. This case isn't going to make you a top of the line gaming or other CPU/GPU intensive system. What it will do is allow you to get rid of that huge tower case that is sitting under your desk providing you with all kinds of heat and noise, and replace it with a quiet, cool, light, small box that is at home on top of the desk as well as under it. It will also allow you to add a simple, sleek, stylish computer to your home theater entertainment center."

While the SG06 is nice & compact and perfect for an Atom-based system, I find the Lian Li model a little too big at almost one-foot-tall.
