Conclusion
Well it's been a whirlwind trip with the SG-03 and, despite the suggestions we have for improvements, we still reckon that this is a cracking piece of kit.It's very compact in size and the rather surprising compatibility with full-size components is a big plus in our book.
While we have a few issues with the temperatures we saw, it has to be said we put in some extremely hot running components - there are plenty of cooler-running products that we'd expect to work well inside an SG-03.
As we said at the outset, some retailers are already listing the SG-03 at £80-85 pounds and, after going hands-on, we reckon that's something of a bargain.
High build-quality coupled with considerable flexibility means this is going to be a cracker of a chassis for the small business, home enthusiast and HTPC market. It will just be interesting to see if any of our suggestions make it into forthcoming product revisions.
