In 2003 SilverStone released their first case for enthusiast, the Temjin TJ01. Later that year they released their first HTPC case, the Lascala LC01. Since then SilverStone has steadily released many cases for the enthusiast and media buff alike.Today we look at one of their newest cases in the Grandia line, the GD05. The Grandia GD05 is for the HTPC crowd but can also be used as a Small Form Factor (SFF) case in other areas. At a shallow 325mm (12.8") in depth the Grandia GD05 can fit in tight entertainment cabinets, but still accommodate full height video cards up to 11” in length. The Grandia also supports Mini-DTX, Mini-ITX and micro-ATX motherboards, full size 5.25” drives, 2.5” and 3.5” hard drives, standard power supplies up to 180mm long (220 if you remove a fan), as well as having three SilverStone Golf Blade 120mm fans. That’s a lot of hardware stuffed into a 12”x17” footprint that stands 6" high.The Grandia GD05 is also what they call a positive pressure case. This means that all three of the special 'golf blade' case fans are blowing into the case and the air finds its own way out via vents in the rear of the case. As an option you can install twin 80mm fans on the rear of the case to aid in moving the air out of the case. SilverStone suggests their Suscool 81 fans.Now the SilverStone Grandia GD05 will not be mistaken for a DVD player, but it's not the biggest HTPC case out there, either. With the Aluminum skinned face the case has a very classy look and should fit in with most equipment. The GD05 only comes in black unlike its predecessor, the GD04, which came in both black and silver.Currently we can find the Grandia GD05 for $89.99 plus shipping and carries a 1 year warranty from the date of purchase. During that time the warranty will cover replacement or exchange of defective components at the place of purchase with all the proper paperwork. Let’s take a look at the features and specifications of the Grandia GD05.
