PC Case Silverstone Grandia GD07 HTPC Black

The SilverStone Grandia GD07 HTPC is a black home theater PC case engineered to combine high storage capacity and quiet operation in a compact full-size HTPC footprint. Reworked internal layout allows installation of up to eleven drives across multiple bays, support for long expansion cards up to 13.6 inches (345 mm) and even large motherboards including SSI EEB and Extended ATX while preserving a low-profile external size. The case uses aluminium and steel construction and includes front USB 3.0 ports and a 120 mm side fan to assist cooling.

Advantages

The GD07 provides a positive air pressure design with removable quick-access filters for effective dust prevention and sustained quiet cooling. A lockable brushed-aluminium front door conceals multiple 5.25" bays and I/O, improving appearance and security for installed drives. The internal layout supports many drive configurations and long graphics or expansion cards without major compromises.

Suitable for

• Home media servers and HTPC builds requiring high storage capacity
• Silent living-room PCs with multiple hard drives
• Systems using long graphics cards or high-end expansion cards
• Workstations or home servers that need SSI EEB / E-ATX motherboard support

Fit long expansion cards into the rear PCI slots, ensuring the card length does not exceed the specified 13.6" limit. Use the removable filters around the chassis and configure up to four 120 mm fans to establish positive air pressure for optimal cooling and reduced dust ingress. Connect front-panel USB to the motherboard headers labeled USB 3.0/3.1 Gen1.

Recommendations

For quiet operation and long-term dust control, use the case's positive-pressure fan setup with intake fans and the supplied removable filters, and clean the filters periodically. Lock the front panel when the system or drives must be secured.
