13 liters of volume in a cube shape, that’s what Silverstone’s Sugo 16 case offers, which the manufacturer has now unveiled. The mini-ITX case is made entirely of steel, and when a full-size graphics card is installed, it maxes out the internals.

The cards must not exceed the dimensions of 275 mm in length and 147 millimeters in width and cover a maximum of two slots.
