Product Overview

Rivals the Best Tower Chassis

The Grandia GD05 is a follow-up of the incredible GD04 as a chassis that combines years of SilverStone expertise in SFF (Small form factor) and HTPC (Home Theatre Personal Computer) designs. It has the same beautifully proportioned exterior and powerful thermal capability that rivals the best tower chassis. However, the front panel of the GD05 was designed to be more flexible so that its 325mm depth can be utilised in more places than just home theatres. Even though GD05’s diminutive size allows it to easily integrate into any home theatre cabinet, it can still accommodate an impressive list of standard components such as 5.25” device, two 3.5” hard drives, a 2.5” SSD, a standard ATX power supply, and two high-end graphics cards up to 11 inches. Cooling duty in the GD05 is handled by three filtered 120mm fans designed with the same positive air pressure to enable class-leading cooling efficiency, reduced dust buildup, and silent operation. To make installation simpler, there is even enough space for cable management to be easily accomplished without the need for short cabled or modular power supply. Coupled with special attention given to the order of installation, any user can quickly assemble or upgrade the GD05 with a small and powerful PC system. SPECIAL FEATURES Three silent 120mm fans included Positive air pressure design for excellent cooling/quietness and dust-prevention Beautiful aluminium skin for classic appearance Incredible 325mm depth to fit comfortably inside home theatre cabinet Designed with cable routing for easy installation Supports power supply up to 180mm long Support expansion cards up to 11 inches Support 2.5” hard drive or SSD (Solid-state drive).

Silverstone GD05B, Black, HTPC Desktop Case, 3x 120mm Fans, 2x USB 3.0, Micro-ATX/Mini-DTX/Mini-ITX, w/o PSU is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 1.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from First time HTPC build, perfect case for it. I've used this case to put in a living room as a HTPC. Overall I am really impressed with the build quality and the finish, everything (apart from the tricky to plug in audio jack in the front) seems to be really nicely done, and I'm really liking the alluminium brushed front. Let me start with the pros of this case: - Really small compared to the components it can fit. Space doesn't feel wasted or cramped (yes, sometimes it can be tricky to cable manage but as long as you don't worry about it too much, it should be fine). Some improvisation was needed to cable manage, but it was a joy in this case. - Build quality. As mentioned, really good quality overall, there are cable management loops and cable-tie looking plastic bits that can be used and reused. - Sound proof. The case is fairly silent compared to my mid Tower case, and the fans are fairly silent as well. It is not sound proof completely, but it's not irritating as well. - Intel heatsink fits with no issues even when the optical drive is in. Now some cons. There aren't a lot of these, but I'm trying to keep an open mind here. - The mentioned above audio and microphone jack. My 3.5mm headphone plug couldn't fit because there was a gap between the connector and the brushed alluminium panel. Any plug that doesn't have unnecessary plastic around it should fit, as my 3.5mm headphones that come with my phone fit because the plug is relatively small and can fit through the panel hole. - Little bit cramped. As mentioned above, yes the case is small but there are times where it was really cramped (especially with the DVD drive in) To get around it, you have to take out some components but overall, I don't think anything can be improved in this aspect since the case is as small as it can be. - Not really a con or a pro, but I had some confusion where the hard drives go. I installed one SSD and one HDD in the case, and I got a bit confused which way the drives have to go, the instructions weren't clear about this. However after a couple of tries and common sense, I got the drives in the case. And that's my review. I enjoyed building in this case more than I enjoyed building my mid tower computer, so that is saying something :)
