Silverstone Technology Milo 9 ML09B Cases ML09B

This is for the ML09B (I really wish all these reviews for different cases weren't listed together). Pros: * Well-constructed steel case. Edges are smooth and panels are a decent strength. * Fits a dual-slot GPU along with 2x 80mm fans if you remove the fans from the GPU, which I did for my 1050TI since the tiny fans that came with it were extremely loud. Note that all the 1050TI cards I've seen have an angled bracket for the DVI port that blocks a regular 25mm-thick fan in one of the fan mount points. You would need a thin 80mm fan to fit there. * Fits a Noctua NH-L12 heat sink if the top bracket is removed. This decreases the stability of the top panel in that area but I don't expect people to put a lot of weight on top of the ventilation holes. * Decent amount of space around the mobo for wire routing. Cons: * It would be nice if the USB ports were front-facing on the opposite side of the case and the drive cage were smaller. That way you'd have more space for the GPU and easier cable routing next to the PSU. * The plastic front panel collects dust easily.. * Stupidly bright blue LEDs.

This case is small but not tiny - about the size of a first generation Xbox One. Mine arrived with a busted screen filter, but the seller was happy to send a replacement after I contacted them. This case is smaller than most, but still large enough to fit some capable mini ITX components. No adjustments were needed to fit the following: Corsair SF450 power supply, Gigabyte H370n WiFi motherboard, Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Low Profile graphics card The biggest issue I have with this case is that it seems to be upside down. When lying flat (as opposed to upright) the USB ports are on the left side of the box. This might make more sense for someone building a home entertainment box, but it's nonsensical for adding peripherals like a mouse that tend to be used on the right side of the machine. Heck, if you're left handed, this box might be perfect for you.

Pros: Excellent build quality, easy installation, good price, very versatile for a HTPC case. Cons: Not ideal for building a silent system, sub-optimal placement of optical drive bracket. Silverstone's Milo series has some of the only cases that can accommodate a serious dual-slot low-profile GPU, leaving room for more than adequate storage media without going over ~7 litres in capacity. The most glaring limitation is that the space for an optical drive hangs right over the face of the motherboard, which means if you add an OD you would block airflow for the CPU and have to use a low-profile CPU cooler. You're also pretty much limited to a SFX PSU or smaller (I used a pico). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this if you're building a high-powered home-theatre or even SFF gaming PC, so long as you don't mind the above limitations. My only real wish personally is that the ML09B had at least an optional mod aimed at heat dissipation, because my aim was to build a silent, fanless system (Streacom and HDplex make better-suited cases for that, except they're much more expensive and less GPU-friendly). I used Arctic's Alpine passive heatsink on a 35w cpu (ditching the included case fan), but had to switch off intel turbo boost so it would never overheat. If Silverstone were to offer an optional replacement cover for the case which included inner heat-pipes and external heat-fins, I would happily spend more for that, and consider the case absolutely perfect for my needs.

Snug fit but works well - MSI B450 mobo - Ryzen 5 (had to remove cosmetic plastic over fan) - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (had to remove face plate) - CORSAIR SF450, 450 Watt PS - WD Blue 3D m.2 250GB ssd for os - CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 - Crucial MX500 2TB, 2.5 for data

Note: I had to modify my MSI 1050 Low Profile Dual Fan GPU to make it fit into the case. The USB+Audio connectors at the top of the case interfered with the GPU by a several millimeters and I had to snip off some plastic around the GPU fan shroud. Maybe Build: Case Milo09B PSU: Corsair CP-9020104-NA SFX CPU: Intel I5 GPU: Nvidia MSI 1050 LP etc...

Good case that fits 2-slot low profile GPU's, decent temps with the Noctua low profile cpu cooler. My only ding is the blue leds on the front - they are far too bright - I will be looking into replacing them with standard yellow/red led's that aren't going to blind me in a dark room. I am otherwise quite pleased with using this case as a workstation with a floating monitor above it.

Note! This case requires a half-height videocard. THANKFULLY MSI just released a Low Profile 1050ti

Nice htpc itx case.

An excellent little HTPC case that fits well in an existing entertainment cabinet where a VCR or DVD player would have once occupied. The internal layout as great, allowing for a discrete low profile video card to get fresh air from the ventilated side panel. The option for a slim optical drive is also great if you have a sizeable collection of DVDs that you'd still like to watch. Just keep in mind that it is designed for a 12.8cm drive, and while a face plate is provided if you have a 9.5cm tray load drive, a 9.5cm slot loading drive would not be compatible as it will leave gap. Also of note is that slim optical drives will require a slimline SATA to SATA adapter to plug into most motherboards.

Bon case mais air flow très faible. Bon petit case pour PC, mais un peu trop ipetit à mon goût car la circulation d’air n’est pas excellente du tout, mais normal pour un 7L et ça dépend ce qu’on met dedans.

Pros; Llego antes de lo previsto lo cual es gratificante (estaba impaciente por recibirlo jaja) los acabados son muy buenos. Aunque en cuanto al contenido el gabinete estaba fuera de su bolsa y faltaba el hielo seco de protección, quiero pensar que se debió al tema de aduanas. La caja ni un rasguño muy bien por dhl. Contras; Daría cinco estrellas si no fuera por el reflejante frontal que en vez de ser un acrílico rígido es un flexible pegado, que no queda homogéneo por la goma con que se adhiere este al gabinete y lo cual provoca que se despegue parcialmente requiriendo volver a colocarlo haciendo presión.
