Silverstone SG13 New Front Cover

thingiverse

I built a mini ITX system with the SilverStone SG13 case. I love the case but I do not care for the layout. I dislike water cooling and wanted to make the most efficient use of the space by redoing the layout. I relocated the PSU to the front of the case to allow me to fit a large heatsink for the cpu. Doing so caused clearance issues with the existing usb port configuration. Combine that with the existing front cover on the case being very restrictive I decided to redo it. The existing USB hearder was relocated to the top of the cover for better clearance and access. This front cover has large openings where the GPU is located, this allows the GPU to better dissipate heat. My current GPU has heatsink fin orientation that suites this perfectly and I can feel a rather strong draft flowing out of the case. This is greatly improved over the mesh and solid panel designs. The openings are angled so you cant see into the case. I also extended the same louvered design to where the intake fan is located to improve airflow there as well. There is a spot to install a 1/4" (6mm) thick porous foam filter to reduce the amount of dust that get into the system. This is still a bit of a work in progress and is still in need of some refining but I have had multiple requests for this particular piece. I will update it as I continue to improve it. I hope you all enjoy it!
