Silverstone Grandia GD04 (noir)

Excellent case, great build quality. Can’t be faulted

The start switch on my old media case became defective so I needed to replace the case. After careful research I decided to go for this one as it has less depth than the old one and fitted into my shelf unit better. The assembly manual is excellent - in fact, so clear that I decided to transfer all components across myself. (I'm in my 70's and not that computer literate!) With a bit of careful planning and judicious fiddling, the components have all fitted in well and the computer fired up first time with no problems. It's blissfully quiet even with all fans running (I have six including the three with the case) although I have noticed a slight resonance when the case is in its nook on the shelves but it's not that disruptive. One point; I reused my old Corsair power supply which didn't quite fit so I had to trim the side of the power input socket to fit snuggly into the case. I would definitely recommend this case to others as I'm well pleased with it.

Very pleased with the case but the dark paint can flake off when screwing/unscrewing items to the case

Very nice looking sturdy case with good thought put into cable retention and routing. Space inside for full ATX power supply and to hide cables in front (just be sure that your PSU has a bottom facing fan). The drive mounts have yellow rubber grommets to reduce noise through vibration and three system fans, however these are 3 pin type. Had to buy a fan controller to convert the MB 4 pin PWM fan header to the 3 pin fan type. Pack includes cover for DVD/CD drive tray to keep the front looking smooth (fixed using double sided tape included), all screws/pegs, 5 reusable cable ties and full instruction booklet with guide on GFX card and DVD drive purchasing. My only gripe is the tiny screws used to secure the drive trays which need to be removed during build, dowels/pegs would have been better with a grub screw to tighten.

Absolutly amazing case. I can fit 30cm gpu if i wanted in there. The only minus is that you cant do cable management very well in that case. FOR HTPC is the perfect case.
