Review on πŸ–₯️ SilverStone Grandia Series GD09B: Premium Aluminum HTPC Computer Case for ATX / SSI-CEB - Black by Daryl Barton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good case not great

So I bought this case to build a home theater pc which is its design. It's a surprisingly large chassis for this purpose and will fit a very large motherboard if needed, which is a good thing. However, due to its size, it barely fits on my TV stand and I can see how that can be an issue for some people. The front plastic feels a little cheap but the color looks nice. There are no partitions inside, so all computer equipment can be easily installed. There are a few perforated tabs on the bottom of the case for securing cables with plastic ties, but I feel there are too few of these to help with cable management. I highly recommend buying self-adhesive zip ties or zip ties so you can organize your power cords. Due to the size of the case, you will likely need an extension cord for the power cords. I love that this case has filters for the intake fans even though it only contains a 120mm fan. It has enough room for four 120mm fans as well as two 80mm exhaust fans and I think that's enough for cooling. Overall this case is good enough to meet my needs, but I wish they had sold a slightly smaller one that included an extra cable manager.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Very expensive
