Silverstone Grandia GD07 HTPC Case Review

Henry Butt June 20, 2012 Cases, Featured Tech News

Silverstone supply the GD07 in a large cardboard box which is decorated in a black livery.  Due to the design of the case, Silverstone have chosen to use a wide, short box instead of the more conventional tall, narrow case boxes we're used to.

Inside the box, the case is sandwiched between two slabs of polystyrene, which offers shipping protection.

We find all the bundled accessories within a small box inside.  Aside from the usual screws for installation and user manual, we only find a couple of additional items in the box.  These include a USB3.0 to USB2.0 internal header adapter for the front I/O connections and a couple of cable routing clips.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.

    That’s one monster HTPC case. I don’t much get the need for full ATX for an HTPC, but it was interesting to learn about it.

    Its a lovely looking design and ideal for someone who wants this in a ‘hi-fi’ style rack, but its still quite a physical footprint due to the boxy shape.

    Yes its large, but, the great option on this is the ability to hold lots of drives. With an ATX board you can roll the HPTC NAS box functions into one case….

    I just bought this case, im installing a ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS MOBO with two e5-2665’s i would like to fit the be quiet shadow rock top flows in, however i doubt this will be possible and will have to use Noctua NH-L12’s. Which ever i use i know ill be cutting the removable drive bay holder as one cooler will clash with it. will be nice though as it will be quite compact
