Two 6c-12t Xeons, 4x 4GB RAM, a 8500GT GPU and a single 320GB HDD ..... XD
I could barely see the GPU in there... Maybe I'm going blind :(

I was going to post and ask if anyone else looked at other people's ATX tower builds and thought, "Yeah, it was 'HARD' to build. Now put it in a case 1/3 the size." Then I came across this thread and there went my morning...

Coming from 4 year old Silverstone Sugo SG13 build. Back then 23liters volume with good ventelation, full size gpu (had a 300mm R9 290 in there for 3 years) support and fitting a Noctua D15s was a rare thing. Nowadays all i see is wasted space :D

@joerg83 I've seen and owned worse! I think you meant to say Sugo SG10 by the look of it, as it's mATX. The SG13 is half the size and most definitely ITX XD.
A nice build nevertheless, put an RTX 3 slot, 3 fan card in there and you've lost your space inefficiency at a stroke!!

Yup its a matx build in a Silverstone SG10. I was definitely looking at too many ITX cases recently. XD
