SG10

Preface to our Online Guides We appreciate that for some, a printed user guide will always be the preferred option, which is why, in the past, we had always produced a clear and comprehensive one.With the aim of reducing our environmental impact and waste, we have switched to this online guide...

Unpacking the SG10 Hopefully you have received the SG10 box in good condition, but if not, please make sure to catalogue any signs of damage before opening the packaging.The SG10 is no small case, its large and weights over 20kg without any components installed, so we have designed the box and...

Overview The internal structure of the case is effectively an open frame that utilises horizontal and diagonal brackets to mount hardware into the space. The horizontal brackets secure to the case along 8 rails using a captive bolt and provide a base for the diagonal brackets and other hardwar...

Overview Structure Handling Pads The two tempered glass side panels on the SG10 are identical and you dont need to consider the correct “up” orientation, only make sure the printed edge is facing in...

Typical PSU Location Default Optional Whilst the SG10 is fairly versatile in terms of mounting hardware, for most people, the typical PSU installation location will be behind the motherboard, at the back of the case. This wil...

Motherboard Location As outlined in the "using the brackets" section of this guide, the motherboard mounts to the case using the diagonal brackets. Clips fitted to the brackets provide a standoff mounting point and also allow the position to be adjusted.Depending on the type of motherboard, yo...

Front IO Module The SG10 includes a single IO module designed for the front of the case that includes the power button and USB ports. The module attaches between the slotted panels by clamping directly to them. This allows it to be placed anywhere on the front (or back) of the case and in eith...

Using Fans to the SG10 Warning, some people are going to find this content offensive :p Whilst the idea of adding fans to a fanless case is questionable, it is something that often comes up and we understand that in some use cases, there might be justification. It is important to note t...

General Handling At 16+ kg for the empty aluminium version with no glass side panels, the SG10 is heavy, so proper care should be taken when lifting and moving. Fortunately, the feet have openings that are ideal locations for securely lifting the case from. Front Sid...

The Damper To address the sound of vapour as it flows through the out line of the evaporator, we have introduced a rubber damper to the case accessories. This consists of a molded rubber cylinder that fits over the flexible line, reducing resonance and vibrations that travel along it. The kit...
