A Detailed Look – At the Inside
As we move onto the interior of the SG06, we wanted to show you how the top shell can be removed. All users need to do is unscrew three screws at the back of the case and gently pull the entire shell off from front to back.
The interior of this case is pretty cramped, which is expected because of its support for mini ITX and DTX motherboards. Silverstone included one low-RPM, 120mm fan at the front of the case that brings cool air in from the side vents on the front panel.
The top of the case houses one slim optical drive and a 300W power supply. There isn’t much room for anything else either.
The right side of the case has room for one 3.5″ hard drive and one 2.5″ hard drive. The front panel I/O wiring also comes into the case from this side so keep that in mind during installation.
Here’s a closer look at the slim optical drive bay at the top of the case. The entire cage comes out for easy installation too.
Here’s a quick rundown of all the specifications on this FSP 300W, 80-plus efficiency power supply. This wattage should be more than adequate for a high-end HTPC with an additional mid-range graphics card.
The front panel bezel can be removed pretty easilyso users can gain access to the front panel fan’s dust filter, which will need to be periodically cleaned to keep the system running at optimum levels. Users will notice that while the front panel has metal on the outside, it actually snaps onto the chassis through an inner plastic bracket that is secured to the exterior aluminum panel with screws.
The “golf ball” bumps on the blades of the included 120mm fan should help keep the fan quiet during operation.
Here’s a quick shot of the power supply cables, which include support for SATA, molex, six-pin (PCI-E devices), and even four-pin power devices like floppy and slim optical drives.
The front panel I/O cables are available for high definition audio, USB, power, reset, HD LED, and power LED.
Here’s a close-up of the hard drive cage. Users will notice that one 2.5″ device can fit right above the 3.5″ hard drive cage in this photo. I’m glad they included this because many users will want to use a solid state drive with their HTPCs.
