Silverstone SG08

This is one of the reasons I refrain from pre-ordering hardware, there is a very high chance the ETA will not be met which would just cause problems with having a bunch of components and no case for example, sucks badly that the price went back up.

Ah thats annoying. It still says due today but I seriously doubt that they are getting a late night delivery so looks like I won't be getting my Friday delivery and I bet it will come on Saturday when I am out all day and then won't be able to collect it till Monday

If it comes in tomorrow it is generally next day delivery (unless non-mainland), so Friday is still possible. I'm just worried it may be delayed longer and longer as this case does seem to be taking its sweet time get to the UK.

There are some in stock but I can't remember how much money I have

, If all goes well I should place an order tonight with some other goodies ready for christmas.

Still no luck with 1156 mitx boards.

should have ordered last week, price has shot up now

ITS HERE! Words cannot describe how much better than the SG07 the new faceplate is. Also it comes with a USB3 header to USB2 header adapter thank god! Photos when I get back from work.

Bradmax57 · 7 Dec 2011 at 14:13

Look forward to seeing them

I just cant see how @ £175 case & psu is worth it

gropingmantis · 7 Dec 2011 at 15:36

Right photos are uploading now. At first glance this is just a simple facelift for the SG07. On cracking it open they have pretty much solved every issue with the SG07:

Poorly sheathed PSU power cable? - Solved! It now sports a properly moulded and safe attachment so no more exposed 240V cable.
Cant access the PCI-e holder without removing the power socket? - Solved! the retention bracket now has a clear gap allowing you to remove PCI-e cards without having to unscrew the power socket.

So quite frankly with USB 3.0 I would certainly recommend this over the SG07 now.

Purdy.

Uploading photo of the improved power socket now. Seems Virgin have nerfed uploads as it is the afternoon, jerks.

Nope nothing is working. Files are just too big they get to 2% and then stop. Stupid internet.

Sounds like you've issues your end! Reboot the modem/router and PCX. Rules out 2/2

Bradmax57 · 7 Dec 2011 at 20:06

That would be a perfect case for me if it was a little taller to accept a 5.25" optical, looks very nice btw

bah 5.25" optical is overrated although it does allow for the fitting of extra cool stuff so I would say that this case with a scythe kaze-master ace would be the best looking case EVER.
