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.
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
