Hey guys, I'm torn between the Silverstone TJ08E, SG03 and SG09. I'm leaning most towards the SG09, but all the reviews I've read used modular PSUs and recommend against using a non-modular PSU. I'm currently using a FSP Hexa 500w. Would it fit inside the SG09? Would be cable management be a mess? Other specs include HD 6850/7750 (haven't decided on this), Phenom II 545 and two 3.5" HDDs.
Also wondering if I should be asking this in the Silverstone thread instead since they're all Silverstone casings
Was wondering the same thing! i've recently built a pc in a storm scout 2 but want to shrink it into an sg09. anyone here with this case with normal psu? how's the cable management? i saw on youtube a guy use modular + short set of wires for this case. looked GORGEOUS
I was looking at Falcon Northwest Tiki (http://www.falcon-nw.com/desktops/tiki) and how small it is (relatively) and wonder if it's possible to build one myself without engaging them and paying the crazy price. Anything personal build that small and can still fit a GTX Titan inside?

other than the casing, it seems that they use standard parts. so if you can find a similar casing locally (low chance). why not?
did some research, total volume of tiki si 11.4 liters, unless you really want a thin tower shape, sg05 is "smaller" at 10.8 liters.
other potential candidates (mods may be required) include apex mi-100 (8.5 liters) and chieftec bt-02b (9.5 liters)

SilverStone will launch PT-14 NUC style case soon
The PT-14 is a NUC style case where all the major components feature on a single PCB with a heatpipe on the rear to cool the CPU directly to the chassis itself. The system can be run either passively or with an active fan, which Silverstone do recommend as the case can get hot to touch during use.

I decided to go forward with the SG09 + FSP Hexa 500w, and everything fits! It was a bit of a squeeze though. But maybe it was just my amateur cable management skills
i'm thinking of changing to smaller sized casing, been looking at Silverstone TJ08-E for a long time. Few days ago I saw Lian-Li's PCA55 and PCA05-FN, which seems not bad too coz it can fit an ATX mobo in. In your opinion which is better? Btw how much does the Lian-Li cost?
