Very similar cases. I've had the 110 in the past, a very tight case (and looking at the SG, the 110 is a fair bit smaller).

I like the 110, but I can't see either case being 'better' than the other. Both reputable manufacturers.

Depending on if/which GPU you're planning on, that might be a factor worth considering. The 110 allows 8.3" long GPU's, the SG will let you use 10.5" cards.

I have a GTX 950 Evga SSC do you know if it will fit in the 110

I'm wary of such tiny cases being a "heat freak". I like to use the Phanteks Evolv as 1) it can fit **any** GFX card (up to 13"), and it cools excellently.

If ya card is less than 8.5", then the 110 would work ... I was asked to do a build in the SG once, I remember it wouldn't fit the Asus 780 (10.6") but only missed ya little....

The EVGA 950 SC is 10.10" x 4.38"

Still I don't like that big a card confined to such a teeny enclosure.

Thanks. I was wondering about the side panel on the phanteks case. Do you remember it being more clear or tinted?

Tinted but to too dark.

So if I put in custom sleaved white cables then it would show nicely?
