The Grandia GD10, along with GD09, is a culmination of SilverStone's decade-long experience in HTPC case design and manufacturing, crafted into a product that every PC enthusiast can enjoy. The incredible efficiency in which it utilizes all available space results in a case that is close in size externally to the Micro-ATX-based GD04 and GD05, yet capable of fitting the most important, full-size standard components - including wider ATX motherboards (SSI-CEB) such as ROG or other gaming-centric models.
All drive cages have been designed similarly to those from the popular ML03 case to provide maximum flexibility in drive configuration without the need for additional adapters. For cooling, all positive pressure and smooth airflow designs were retained from previous Grandia models while improvements were made to filter access for even easier maintenance. With the addition of a lockable front door, the GD10 offers an attractively-sized case that's user-friendly for those interested in building a system with extra security and applications that exceed typical PC or HTPC environments.

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.
