SST-GD09B - Grandia HTPC ATX Computer Case, Silent High Airflow Performance, black

This came through as head-and-shoulders the best HTPC case I could buy if I wanted to keep the budget sensible, whilst fitting enough components in to also make it a decent gaming rig. It fits a MSI Z87-GD65-GAMING ATX Motherboard in with ease, and accomodated my GTX 760 GPU with no problem. I could even stick another one in by the side in SLi mode without too much effort. There is plenty of space for drives (12 if you're some kind of drive nut), with two slots for SSDs above the ODD on the front, which works well, as one of mine turned out faulty when I started the install, and getting at it to remove and replace was easy. The 3.5" bays are vertically stacked, and here you have to watch you don't baulk the GPU. A little forward planning and you're ok though. Pros: Roomy case Good looking Three case fans included, and they are whisper quiet You really can treat the case as any other PC case, as there is plenty of space Cons: No protective film on the front to protect the brushed aluminium from marks during the build No IR port The positive pressure method of case ventilation was new to me, but I can understand how it works, and if it reduces the dust ingress into the case I'm happy with that. The case has built in mesh guards that should capture the majority, although the pair under the case will take some getting at once it's in the cabinet. In fact, I've ordered a couple more fans to up the ante a little and increase the positive pressure further. My Mobo only has four fan points though, so a couple of splitters will be needed to spread the power around. Very happy overall. I can live without the IR port, but the lack of protection on the front of the case is a bit of a downer. Maybe you could carefully tape something to the front during the build, but it didn't occur to me until just. Oh well! :)

Many moons ago most PC's were desktop styled then of course the tower design took over. However, there are some advantages to this style and for me this was a good choice partially because I will probably rack mount it - using the optional mounts - at some point in the future. Currently this is sat on a small table next to where my wife uses it and it reasonably neat looking in this position. Of course if your bag is massive amounts of LED's, water cooling and glass panels then this isn't the case for you. If you want to be a bit more stealthy then it could be ideal. It's full sized and thus has plenty of room for anything you may want to install including the ever more massive GPU's that seem to have become as big as the motherboards today. It's well made and has plenty of natural ventilation which could be fitted with more fans if needed. It comes with one case fan which, is as near to silent as I could imagine. In use this PC is quieter than I expected and the single fan plus plenty of vents seems to allow good all round cooling. Inside you get the usual mounting points, a bag of fixtures and the front panel connections which, are simple to connect to your motherboard. Overall, this is a great choice if you want to have a rack or desk mounted case for tolerable money.

Easy to build in, I wish it had a bit more HDD space but not enough to take away a star. Easily fit a large rtx2060 in there with still enough airflow for all the components. Looks nice enough that I don't mind having it on a shelf rather than hidden away in a cabinet

I wanted a SilverStone for ages for a server w/RAID that was using a cheap(er) case so I finally got this in order to improve cooling + still fit in a TV rack. - Compared to other GD cases, it is cheap, almost 1/2 of GD06/07 which I liked more, but since the front panel is plastic (why?) I did not feel they were worth it - It can use plenty of 12" fans and the PSU is mounted on its side with its fan (at least moden PSUs) blowing straight out the case (side). Some cases have it blow down which I find worse - It is not that deep (36cm?) so that it does just about fit in a TV rack. - Looks good; OK I see what other people say about the paint, it does not bother me but I do agree the quality should have been better - It "oozes" quality - even the box is really strong and nice - not sure why AZ sent it in yet another box - I think it could have withstood anything. - It can fit normal ATX boards with loads of space for expansion cards, e.g. 2 GPUs, 1 TV card, 1 dual/quad gigabit server card and so on. - You can easily use a water cooler - even one with 2 fans - like the SilverStone slim one. However, though it can fit 3x 3.5" HDDs (one in a 5.25" adapter) they are all on one side (left) while on the right there is nothing at all. Sure the PSU cables - especially if you did not get a modular - might have caused a few issues, but as it is - there is a lot of unused space there. On the other hand, the 5.25" rack just about misses the DIMMs (make sure they are not too high) and CPU cooler - thus things are still cramped. It would have been better to put it on the right where the PSU is. I feel I should have gone for the Milo, much smaller - the only issue would have been getting 1/2 (half-height) cards + 8" fans. For the price it's OK but could have been better.

ちょっと重いですがシックなパソコンを組むに良い製品でした。LEDとかで光るのは好きではないので、パーツ選びには少し戸惑いましたがなんとか完成しました。2014/5/9からアマゾンで取り扱いなので幾分古い規格ではありますので、パーツをうまく選んでいけば、現在でも組んでいけるようです。BDドライブやGPU、CPUファン等、選ぶには大きさで注意が必要です。

Servus, ich habe das SST-GD10B heute zusammengebaut und bin sehr positiv von diesem Case überrascht. Pro: - Abmessungen des Gehäuses; super kompakt u. ATX Mainboard passt rein. Die Höhe liegt bei etwa 17cm, die Füße könnte man auch noch entfernen um ca. 1,5cm zu gewinnen, dies wäre aber irreversibel, da die vorderen Drehfüße meiner Meinung nach genietet sind. Die Hinteren Füße sind geklebte Gumminoppen. - Verarbeitung: top Qualität, Vorderplatte u. Deckel ist aus Metall, der Rest ausreichend hochwertig dafür dass es meistens in einen TV Schrank o.ä. kommt - sehr simpler Einbau der Komponenten, selbsterklärend. Die Reihenfolge beim Einbau der Lüfter sowie bei mehreren Festplatten/laufwerken in den Einbaurahmen muss definitiv beachtet werden. Ansonsten liegt dem Case eine mehr als üppige Anzahl an diversen Schrauben, Motherboard Disztanzschrauben u. sogar einige Kabelbinder bei Contra: - Platz u. Kabelmanagement sowie das verkabeln und Stecker einstecken sind super knifflig da sehr wenig Platz zum reingreifen bleibt. Besonders optisch ansprechendes Kabelmanagement kann man hier nicht betreiben, macht aber nichts das Case ist eh geschlossen. - Die Stege an der Gehäuserückseite zwischen den einzelnen PCI slots sind etwas ungünstig breit. Ich habe eine negative Bewertungen gelesen, dass man dann die HDMI oder DP Kabel nicht ganz reingesteckt bekommt. Kann ich nicht bestätigen. Man muss bei der Montage einfach die Graka gut ausrichten, zur Not Metallfeile und den Steg weggesägt. Update: selbst "breite" DP Kabel mit Klickbefestigung passen ohne Probeme. - ansonsten habe ich keine negativen Punkte beim zusammenbauen entdecken können, nichts worüber man sich ärgert Nun zu den verbauten Komponenten: Mainboard: MSI MPG X570 GAMING PRO CARBON WIFI AMD X570 So.AM4 Dual Channel DDR4 ATX Retail Prozessor:AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8x 3.90GHz So.AM4 BOX Lüfter: be quiet! Dark Rock TF Topblow Kühler (ACHTUNG Lüfter darf nicht höher als 13,5cm sein) Grafikkarte: 8GB MSI GeForce RTX2070Super GAMING X DDR6 (die DUO; Abmessungen 297x143x56mm passt grade so rein, ACHTUNG: nicht nur Länge sondern auch Breite der GraKa beachten 14,5cm ist Maximum sonst schließt der Deckel nicht!) Netzteil: 700 Watt be quiet! System Power 9 Non-Modular 80+ Bronze RAM: 32GB G.Skill Trident Z schwarz/weiß DDR4-3600 DIMM CL17 Dual Kit M.2 SSD: 500GB Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.3 3D-NAND TLC (MZ-V7S500BW) Gehäuselüfter: 3x be quiet! Silent Wings 3 High-Speed 120x120x25mm 2200 U/min 28.6 dB(A) schwarz und 2x be quiet! Pure Wings 2 80x80x25mm 1900 U/min 18.2 dB(A) schwarz (verbaut von Werk sind 3x120er, denen ich nicht getraut haben, daher direkt ersetzt) HDD: 2000GB Toshiba P300 High-Performance HDWD120UZSVA 64MB 3.5" (8.9cm) SATA 6Gb/s (sitzt im Schacht für die HDD, den Rahmen für weitere Laufwerke konnte ich so rauslassen) Ich kann eine klare Kaufempfehlung aussprechen. Das Gehäuse ist gut durchdacht für einen kompakten Aufbau. Aufgrund der Anordnung der Lüfter bekommt man so scheint es auch einen anständigen Airflow hin, wodurch es auch für ein Gaming Setup durchaus geeignet ist. Komponenten wie Grafikkarte u. CPU-Kühler müssen aufgrund der Abmessung aber mit Bedacht gewählt werden. Zur Temperatur bei Dauerbetrieb kann ich noch nichts sagen, reiche es aber ggf. nach wenn es auffällig gute oder schlechte Werte werden.

Estética muy conseguida, producto de mucha calidad. Bastante espacio, aunque no excesivo. Muy bien ventilada. Permite mantener los componentes bien refrigerados. El ventilador de serie es muy silencioso. En una instalación hay que vigilar dos factores: La altura y colocación del disipador de la CPU, ya que puede chocar con una unidad CD/dvd. El otro aspecto es que por la colocación de la fuente de alimentación, no suelen llegar los cables de 4/8 pines de la fuente hasta su lugar en la placa base.

Premium looks. Has slots for four thick 12cm fans (or two radiators) so you can cool an rtx3070 rig with ease. Enough space for an ATX mobo but check the measurements before you try to fit a 3080/4080. No cable management features though. Has two bays - one for a 5.25 DVD drive and one for a 3.5in drive. Of course you can fit up to 8 2.5in SSDs if you purchase special bay converters.

De grote is prima, om ook in een kast te zetten. Verder is het geheel compleet met de nodige vijzen. 2 Harddisks inbouw en 1 DVD speler, O.K. Maar vooraan was boven de 2 USB en lijn in/uit nog plaats voor een 3.5" inbouw te maken. En daarin had men een frontpanel, met meer USB, of andere kunnen inbouwen. Maar alles bij elkaar en gezien de prijs is het OK. Zwart?? Als ik hetzelfde vind in Aluminium, verander ik direct. Audio ,blijft steeds mooier in Aluminium, of Aluminium-Look
