IntroI've been on a never-ending quest for the Ultimate Home Theater PC for many years. I seek the One Case to rule them all (as my HTPC server), and in darkness bind them (thru wireless ethernet). I have suffered through horribly-conceived steel boxes and converted behemoth desktop cases, and still haven't been able to find the one True Case. HTPC cases have increased in popularity, so there are many manufacturers creating the cases, but that means that the percentage of QUALITY cases are going down, because the market is becoming flooded with mediocre cases aimed at the home theater enthusiast.
Silverstone is one of the companies that consistently produces innovative and quality cases for the home theater and PC enthusiast. Their products have
evolved with the market, so they now include similar features that an OEM HTPC includes, and make the installation easy. Silverstone has introduced their new Grandia series HTPC cases, following on the success of their popular Lascala enclosures. The first-born spawn of the Grandia series is the GD01MX, and includes an advanced 52-in-1 card reader, enhanced low-speed fans, an innovative hard drive mounting bay, and a very slick multilanguage LCD display with integrated IR sensor, in addition to the quality construction that makes Silverstone cases so great. The GD01MX also has two 5.25" drive bays, which is perfect for early adopters of Blu-Ray and HD-DVD (so you can enjoy both formats in one unit).
