As you can very clearly see, even our gargantuan Sapphire R9 270X graphics card fit with ease in the SG11. I had my doubts that it would be easy to install, but it really did just drop right into place. The only thing to consider is that if you’re two longer cards, you’ll likely need to remove the retention bracket, as it would conflict with the outermost card.

The top hard drive bracket comes in handy, as it means I could change the hard drive much more easily should anything go wrong. Of course, I still have the extra 3.5″ drive bays below that should extra storage be required.

Cable management could be tricky for those with a non-modular power supply, but there is room to bundle up excess cables here and a few cable ties should do the trick; I cheated a little and put cables in the unused 5.25″ drive bay.

As you can see, there’s more than enough clearance above our graphics card to install a set of 80mm fans. I don’t think they’re required for this build, but if you’ve got particularly hot-running cards, or you’re wanting a compact rendering rig, that extra airflow is a nice option to have.

As I said before, the internal hard drive bays are pretty secluded, so it’s certainly advisable to get them in place early on in your build. Also take some care as getting to them to make adjustments would likely require you to remove that graphics card and top retention bracket to gain access.

The power supply is nicely situated in the top of the chassis, leaving a surprising amount of space for a good quality low-profile CPU cooler; I even managed to fit our Cooler Master Gemini II M4 with its 120mm fan and found there was suitable room for airflow between it and the PSU.

Cable routing can be tricky, but a little care and even a cable tie or two if needed, and you can easily keep cables clear of any major components or fans and prevent airflow from becoming restricted.

All the panel back in place and the SUGO SST-SG11 looks stunning. You can see our Sapphire graphics card sitting nicely behind that mesh section, which will help feed out graphics card with all the airflow it needs to operate properly. Of course, when you’re looking at the front of the chassis, you won’t see any of these vents, just that lovely mirror finish front panel.
