Sliger S610 Case

Greetings all!
I posted about the Sliger S610 case in another thread, but wanted to share a bit more information with the community. This build originated as the Small Form Factor Wallet Wrecker in the Silverstone RVZ03 case.

After a couple of years and a bit of a struggle with CPU thermals, I decided to look for a new case. I wanted a case in the small form factor size range and it had to be very durable and easy to build in.

Enter the Sliger S610: It’s an all metal, super sturdy case with a ‘traditional’ component layout and great CPU cooler and GPU compatibility. It does have a slightly wider sibling, the Sliger S620 that provides a bit more flexibility in terms of component compatibility. I opted for the smaller of the two based on the fact that I travel quite a lot in my current profession and have a small office area at home (it’s a storage closet).

Here’s a couple of pictures of before and after in my build process.

Before

After


My build consisted of the following components:

  • CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K (slightly undervolted)
  • CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-C14S
  • MB: ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ac ITX
  • RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4-3200
  • Storage: Samsung EVO 970 1TB NVME; EVO 860 EVO M.2 2TB; 860 SATA 2TB; 850 EVO SATA 1TB
  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 2080 Founders Edition (undervolted)
  • Case Fans (mounted on bottom panel): Noctua S12A PWM chromax
    Power Supply: Corsair SF750 Platinum

As for the S610, a few notes below.

Things I liked:

  • It is quite compact at 13.3L, but easy to build in thanks to the traditional layout.
  • All of the case panels are held on with metal friction mounts (no screws needed) and you can take all of the main panels (top, front, sides) off to expose the main chassis. This also greatly simplified the build process.
  • Depending on your CPU cooler, you can orient the SFX power supply in a couple of different ways.
  • Ample airflow through perforations on the top, sides, bottom, and rear panels.
  • The build quality is absolutely top-notch with a galvanized steel chassis and thick aluminum side panels. I have no qualms traveling with this case.
  • While not super easy in any small form factor case, the cable management was pretty straight forward.
  • You can purchase an optional carrying handle if needed.

Things I didn’t like mostly boil down to personal preference and I have no real knocks on build quality or ease of use from my experience.

  • The power button is a bit bright.
  • The power cable that runs from the power supply to the back of the case can be difficult to get in the correct orientation to plug in if you didn’t think about it before mounting the power supply, but is totally do-able.

Overall it’s a really great case that I’d highly recommend.
Thanks all for reading and I hope this helps someone make a more informed decision for a future build!

Nice work on the build. Small form factor is not for everyone, but it has it’s purpose.
