These two boxes are made of SECC steel and aluminum –there is no tempered glass or RGB in this case, remember that they are console-shaped boxes – and their only difference is in the thickness of both, CONSOLE being narrower than CONSWOLE (We understand that the W of the name will come by "Wide" in English). Of course, curiously they have not given the data of the dimensions of either.
As you can see in the image, they are slightly larger than an Xbox One, although only because of the depth because in terms of width (or height, since the three appear in the image) and tall, they have quite similar dimensions .

As you can see, both boxes are compatible with Mini ITX format motherboards, but since one is wider than the other, in the Sliger CONSOLE we can install processor heatsinks up to 53.4 mm in height, while in the CONSWOLE we can expand this height up to 75 mm. For this reason, special care must be taken when choosing the processor, since the cooling will be limited.
In the same way, and although both are compatible with graphics cards up to 32.5 centimeters long, at CONSOLE we will have to limit ourselves to dual-slot graphics, while the other box is compatible with higher-end graphics that take up 2.5 slots. In both cases, are installed using a riser.
Similarly, in both boxes we can install power supplies in SFX and SFX-L formats, which means that we have at our disposal options of up to 1000 watts of power, which will allow us to install graphics cards of the highest range without any problem.
Finally, it should be noted that in the case of the Sliger CONSOLE the refrigeration is limited to two 120mm fans in slim format (15 mm wide), while in CONSWOLE we can install standard 120mm fans.
Price and availability
Both boxes are already available to pre-purchase on the Density platform (CONSOLE and CONSWOLE) at a price of 179.99 and 199.99 euros respectively. The orders are expected to start shipping from April 20, which means that we will not receive it until, surely, the beginning of May (and more as things are with the COVID-19).
By the way, that for both boxes we can acquire a carrying handle to install on the roof for the modest price of an additional 10 euros.
