Sliger SM580 – doprajte si kus mini-ITX luxusu

Interior

Classic case is relatively easy to describe... but to describe Sliger SM580 can be kind of hard, or more precisely, there isn´t a lot to describe 😊 As I have written before,  we are talking about minimalistic but maximally functional case and its adapted inner construction. A big advantage of this case is the fact that the graphic card is put through PCIe Raiser on the opposite side of the board. That brings two big advantages – GPU cooling is independent and won ´t suck the warm air from CPU cooler, and the second advantage is that you can use the whole length of the case for the GPU. No component or case cables will take up its space. Without additional holder for HDD you can install two SSD discs into the case, which are hidden behind the front panel.

You should be a little careful while choosing the components and properly read the case specifications. The power supply should be installed in the SFX or SFX-L format and the graphic cards in size of 328mm (3 slots). You have to be aware that the case can fit only 140mm fans – in both lower and upper position. If you want to use 120mm fan, you need reduction from Sliger. You must be the most careful while choosing the right cooler – if you decide for air coolers, the height of your cooler can ´t be bigger than 55mm. But there are not many relatively efficient coolers in this height range – I have found only four coolers worth mentioning (Noctua L9, Crvorig C7, Raijintek Zelos, Alpenföhn® Black Ridge). 
You need to be extra careful while choosing AiO and stick solely to manufacturer´s recommendations:
On their page, Sliger also mentions the AiO coolers, which can cause trouble while getting into the case (very interesting description). One of them is for example even Fractal Design S28+. I must say that I would place at least S28+ in the category of incompatible. The Prisma line just simply does not belong here. If you are considering SM580, I would probably choose Asetek 680LS, which Sliger installs as one of the options for an additional charge. You should not worry about Asetek coolers, as it is an OEM manufacturer of several AiO coolers: Asus ROG, EVGA, Fractal Design, Gigybyte, NZXT, Thermaltake. As Density told me, you can't buy Asetek normaly in Europe due to missing certificates, only shop where you can but one is caseking.de
