We've recently have tested a few really big computer cases like the Ikonik Ra x10 and the In Win X-Fighter. These cases are perfect for when you want to put it tons of components in it. The downside to these cases are they take up a lot of space. You definitely won't put them onto a table and as they are standing on the floor they are prone to get clogged with dust and other filth that we can find on the floor.
At the opposite end of the scale we have the tiny mini-ITX cases. While being petite they on the other hand are severely limited in what you can put into them often not even accepting a separate graphics card or a regular CPU-cooler.

The case we are testing today, the Silverstone SUGO SG05, is a so called SFF-case where SFF stands for Small Form Factor. You could call it a compromise between the big cases and the tiny cases where you get the benefits from both and few of the negatives. Silverstone has a variety of SFF-cases but the case we are testing today is one of their first that combines the use of a mini-ITX motherboard with the ability to still use regular CPU-coolers and a modern graphics card.

In fact, the Silverstone SUGO SG05 is a good example that you do not necessarily need to sacrifice flexibility when selecting a small case.
