SilverStone Milo 10 Review: it's... different

[@akmarksman]

This would be great for a "computer" to hook up to your TV for media streaming or web browsing.

[@BikeOnRoadLondon]

I build one using this case as a media server and streamer. I had 14TB storage an SSD and Intel Celeron CPU integrated itx. The whole system draws less than 20w with a 60w pico PSU it is more than suffice. Cheapest itx media server you can build and also smallest. This case is great value for someone who is after discrete low power computing.

[@markdavies981]

Exactly the type of system this was designed for. It is definitely not for a gaming system, that is quite obvious.

[@jwmckay3319]

I bought mine to hold a mini ITX that’s just used for web, file and media sharing 24/7. Intel Celeron onboard graphics, pico psu, 2.5 HDD, measly 65 W power brick. Does exactly what I want, out the way, noiseless, cheap to run. It’s all about the end user requirement, and it’s clearly not for gaming. Suits the job I had in mind.

The screw bounced and is standing on the skinny part! 1:52

[@KitGuruTech]

Well spotted - if I had spotted that at the time you can bet I would have made a point of zooming in. Missed opportunity!

[@QuentinStephens]

Excellent video as always. Despite you saying you won't touch it again, I would appreciate your comparing it with the NUC boxes and Zotac Zboxes. Is it suitable for where more CPU grunt is required? Is there an ITX board with a 10 Gb NIC? That would obviate the need for local storage. And, of course, we live in hope of the AMD APUs. I have one small (4 second!) issue with the video. Watch it from 0:15 to 0:22 and you'll see that there's a flash at the bottom, showing your name and the title of the review. It partially obscures some of the parts of the case. I suggest it should disappear at 0:18 after you've finished showing the box and start showing the case itself.

[@majikulone3608]

Leo... you are awesome! 5700g... what the case was made for!

[@milchkopf3881]

[@maxabillon]

Nice Leo, Great if you just want a Retro gaming old classic PC games Dos Box - 8bit/16bit computer Emulators - Steaming - Watch Movies - browse the Internet - Shopping so forth,. The adaptor plate to attach Milo10 to the back of a Monitor, Not many newer monitors support that & would mean fiddle / getting up to find USB Port so forth, That adaptor plate is better off going on a wall near the Monitor. Nice Silverstone low profile cooler & could be better if they made one all copper & min 2 Copper heat pipes, like the old classic Zalman CNPS8900 low profile. PSU, I think I would go for the older Silverstone Milo 05,8 or 9 ITX Case, not much diff in size, 7 litres & can fit an SFX PSU (more watts & Cheaper & better Safety & gold or platinum Rating & 5 years warranty) Going to hold off for the 5000 Series G 6core.

[@KitGuruTech]

Leo here: Must confess, the idea of mounting the Vesa plate on a wall hadn't occurred to me. Obviously that is what you do with a TV but it is an interesting idea for a PC. Ref CPU coolers, I have a selection of SilverStone coolers in various heights and - apart from the one you saw - they each had a problem on the ITX motherboards as space around the socket is so tight. One cooler has heatpipes and where they curve round it clashes with the VRM heatsink. Another has an 80mm square fan and the corners of the fan frame also clash. ITX is an awkward thing to deal with in a confined space.

[@maxabillon]

@@KitGuruTech Mounting that Milo10 on a wall be like Thermaltake having a P0.2.8 Litre full shell Baby Silverstone could supply 4 x Raw plugs & screws for the wall/woodscrews & market it that way. If I did a build in the Milo 10, I would do away with the SSD/HDD tray & use a CPU cooler that almost near the top case panel Vents & draw air directly from the CPU fan. 2.5' SSD's Some options are, mod one somewhere else if possible with a reusable 3M Command 17203 small Strip or buy something like Sabrent USB 3.1 (Type-A) to SSD 2.5-Inch SATA Hard Drive /SSD & use USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C 10gb/s port on the motherboard.

[@derpythecate6842]

Was looking at this for a turing pi case, given its low TDP, and mini itx size. Pretty specific use case to run an ARM server that sits out of its way, but I think this case might be the one.

[@KeyMan26]

Now that you can buy 5600G retail units, is it viable to put one of those into this chassis? is a 160W PSU enough to drive that?

[@pipog2900]

Any answer for this ?

[@KeyMan26]

@@pipog2900 I ended up going a bit larger - normal SPX PSU in a node202 chassis

[@milchkopf3881]

you can easily limit the power draw of ryzen cpus to even run them with a 80w psu, if you want.

[@joeymcjoeysalot6596]

Wondering how it would look side by side with the Inwin Chopin

[@LutfiJC]

@3:40 Core i39-10300, wow, in the future, Intel's gone to an i39. I wonder if they're still being beaten by AMD's Ryzen :/

Calling from the future, year 2035 - AMD Ryzen 27 is now powered by star dust and unicorns

[@LutfiJC]

@@KitGuruTech HAHAHAHAHAHA! Wait, you said Unicorns! Gimme one!

[@oddguy12]

Am i missing something with the amd apus 5600G and 5700G??

[@TehEv0]

I believe the 5000 series APUs *will* be available for direct consumer purchase later in the year, July/August time. Still doesn't help in the here and now though ofc

[@codygrinnell8676]

Moms computer is rocking a apu!!

[@liaminwales]

6:50 wow small PC's will save a lot of space once (or if) 12V only comes in.

[@darren253]

Good setup for a Office/ Business PC.

[@perdomot]

Just checked Newegg and the 2200G and 3200G are still in stock so that is an option.

[@KitGuruTech]

You are correct - but the prices! ugghhh

[@perdomot]

@@KitGuruTech Sheer agony. Almost as bad as some GPU. The GT 1030 is an abomination at this point.

[@jamesroggy1546]

Great job as always as for the PC i would buy a brix or simalar, but its a nice case

[@Justin_80]

Bet it would be great for a 3200g or 3400g emulator build.

[@andrewpezzo800]

Just watched this. I bought this case recently for remote learning setup. Your review made some good points but I feel missed the mark on the use case for the Milo 10. Any serious pc enthustist wouldn’t use this as gaming pc. With no Internal discrete gpu no gamer would go this route. But for htpc or office setup is great, especially with VESA mounting. I tried the silver stone power adapter but quickly went to much higher capacity unit from RGEEK. And there are more APU’s available then mentioned with Ryzen releasing 5000 series later this year. This did not seem to carry same quality as your typical material.

[@KitGuruTech]

Don't leave us in suspense; if you used a RGEEK Pico (up to 200W!) which APU are you using and which cooler did you employ? that sounds like an ambitious set-up. As for Ryzen APUs, well yes, we shall address them when we are able to get our hands on them.

[@andrewpezzo800]

@@KitGuruTech APU is ryzen 3400g. When I tried playing Destiny 2 the pc would shut down every time game launched. Switched to RGEEK with appropriate power brick and I can do light gaming with no issues. Cooler is a noctua super low profile model (nh l9a). Temps are great! Certainly a case for a very specific target but if you are in that target group the flexibly of an itx mobo in a tiny case is great. Otherwise I would have considered a nuc.

[@KitGuruTech]

@@andrewpezzo800 Sounds like the queue for Ryzen 5000 APUs starts right behind you

[@andrewpezzo800]

@@KitGuruTech lol yes, looking forward to getting one eventually. Because I have an available pcie slot I might try an m.2 adapter for increased storage space. Just one of the flexibility options I like with this case. Anyways, really enjoy your content and the way you deliver material. I appreciate the time taken to address my comment.

[@davidSYcho]

where did you purchase the pico power supply and adapter? i see that theres the RGEEK 300w pico on amazon but having a hard time finding the adapter

[@Asenni]

Cheers Leo

[@markdavies981]

I'm not quite sure what that the maker of this video is smoking, but I don't think he gets what this case is supposed to be used for. Is it for gaming? Of course not. I'm currently looking at one of these to use as a living room HTPC/streaming PC. I don't like the HDD/SSD mounting bracket, as it seems like it would impede air flow quite a lot and cause problems with cooling and fan noise. But, with an NVME drive and a decent low profile cooler I think this would be great. I'm also thinking a pico psu that slots straight into the ATX 24 pin socket, as an alternative to the Silverstone one. There are lots of options for that approach. So, I think it depends on the use case. For some, this is a very good solution.

[@os8704]

Stimmt genau ... mit dem Case kann man einen sehr schönen Office Rechner bauen ... 👍🏻

[@bellshooter]

If wanting a compact gaming case the Kolink Rocket 2 is a far better proposition with decent GPU space, and only 11 litres.

[@davea99]

It's almost an oversized Intel NUC

[@BuzzKiller23]

I am here solely for Leo's pleasure.

[@chrisohanlon69]

He's clearly overjoyed.

[@southpole76]

another choice: J5040-ITX

[@feieralarm]

I really don't see a reason why you'd pick this, over a NUC or a micro PC from Dell/Lenovo/HP or even a Mac Mini. Especially considering that business users would have much better support and warranty options with those.
