SILVERSTONE Grandia Series GD10B Aluminum HTPC for ATX / Micro-ATX / SSI-CEB Computer Case

Pros: Looks nice.

Cons: Absolutely no room for anything inside. I bought a Noctua NH-U9B SE2 (which isn't a large cooler by any means) and while it fit in the case, it eliminated any possibility for an optical drive or extra HDD mounting due to the very cramped layout, At least the caddy is removable. Mounting for storage drives is pretty limited without the caddy, though. There's only enough room for a single SSD and a HDD. Cable management is pretty much impossible, any power cables coming off fo your PSU are going to block airflow significantly from the single intake fan and there's not really any way around this. I can't forget about the blinding indicator lights either. Chr*st, it has the brightest blue LEDs I have ever witnessed. When put to sleep, they go into a rapid flash mode for some idiotic reason. Seriously, for what purpose? Isn't this supposed to sit in your home entertainment console and look nice and not blind you when not in use? Going along with the front panel, what's the deal with the lock? It's utterly useless if it was meant to actually function as a lock since It's easily movable with your finger. It just serves as a big ugly round circle on your case for absolutely no reason apart from to look ugly.

Pros: Awesome case, full length graphic card support, ATX, and still decent size

Cons: Ordered this with the Noctua 92MM cooler, and don't even think of getting a DVD drive in there w/a tower cooler.. Also had to grind (major) down the cd drive cage to even fit the cooler.. eliminating one of the HDD bays. Other than this, I love the case.. Oh, make sure you've got a blower videocard, this case doesn't have good airflow around that area.

Pros: Looks good among my other sound/video equipment. Plenty of room to work in. Fans are quiet.

Cons: Even if not locked, it's not so easy to open the front: when I read that it had a magnetic catch, I assumed that it was one of those push-to-close, push-again-to-open catches, but it isn't: I either have to use the key as a handle or get a finger nail between the edge of the cover and the body of the case. The LEDs are a little too bright

Overall Review: I wonder why they chose to have the mounted-vertically-on-edge drive oriented so that the electronics are facing inward rather than the cover.

Pros: Nice Case. Seems well built. 3 nice fans that are very quiet. The front door seems solid and has a magnetic catch in the front to hold it closed. Only took about 30 min to set up. Micro ATX fits well.

Cons: Maybe not a con but I wish it had more drive space. I have a blue-ray drive and one 3.5 hard drive and that fills it up even though there is more space in the drive area.

Pros: Came next day, DENT free! Beautiful case with good power and reset switches. USB 3.0 in the front is really nice. All my peripherals fit with no issues...tested everything working/posting within an hour and a half after installation and cable management.

Cons: 1. Price, but it was worth it so this is a subjective con. I do think these would sell better if they dropped the price below $80. 2. Shipped with 2 non-working 80mm fans. 3rd was just fine. I just replaced them with 2 spare 80mm fans I had so it's all good. 3. Be prepared to decide which is more important (HDD, SSD & Optical Drive) as space can be a problem depending on the size of your Heatsink & Fan. There's an included bracket that will allow for certain configurations pending you have the leftover space to accommodate. This isn't really a Con but something to be very aware of if you're looking to maximize your options here.

Overall Review: If you are looking for an HTPC/Enertainment system computer that can fit: 1. ATX motherboards 2. Standard format/high wattage power supplies 3. Long, modern video cards....LOOK NO FURTHER. I've sat on this case doing research for almost 6 month before pulling the trigger and this is definitely the case you want if you're looking for something very nice that FITS in your entertainment setup and has nice airflow.

Pros: I have mine for over a year and fans are still quite as ever. At times I forget that it's on.

Cons: I wish the screws were of better quality.

Pros: 1. Great build quality 2. Front cover keeps my two toddlers from pressing the power button. 3. Fits perfectly on my TV stand shelf

Cons: None

Pros: well built and lots of room for HDD and 1 SSD plus a full DVD And my choice for using my old ATX asus z77 MB and gtx 550TI as well ATX PSU

Cons: unable to install any real aftermarket Heatsink and Fan I had to go with stock intel heatsink

Overall Review: over all it works great for my HTPC
