Review on 🖥️ SilverStone SST-GD05B-3.0-USA USB 3.0 Aluminum/Steel Micro ATX HTPC Case - Black (GD05B-3.0-USA) by Jason Dahlkemper

The shortest MATX case I've found in a flatter layout that still fits full GPUs. I installed a 2070 XC Ultra and the case is *almost* too short. In the case of power cables, it only needs to be two mm higher, which would be ideal. The case indicates space for an 80mm fan, but of course they are wrong. Two extra millimeters for the GPU wires would solve this problem. That's right, I can't fit my 80mm Noctua into the slot without some modifications. It's a pretty solid case. I was able to fit a BR-ODD with a Noctua L9 cooler, but the drive bay ONLY touches the top heatsink. No problem, just very tight. I didn't install a hard drive tray and opted for an M.2 drive. I have an SSD that hovers over the mobile device that is attached to the case to limit the power cables I need to install to hopefully allow for better airflow. There is an expansion slot above the power supply, but there is no documentation for the correct installation. I'm considering using a sound card, but I doubt it. I will update the information when I pull the trigger. The adhesive in the hard drive bay that holds the rubber control slot was dry and crumbly and came off very easily. I've been playing a few new games for a few hour long sessions and my temp is 55.-70c for the GPU and about the same for the CPU (Ryzen 2600x). Four stars. Minor inconveniences, but at this price all of these issues should have been considered and resolved before production.
