    SilverStone Grandia Series HTPC Case with Aluminum FP Micro-ATX, 2x Hot-Swap Drive Bay, 3x120mm Golf Bladed Fan, USB 3.0 x2 and 11-Inch Expansion Card GD06B (Black)

    • it puts out too much heat and without rear ventilation, I can't recommend it
    • , 7 Noctua fans throughout the case and CPU heat sink (also from Silverstone, bought separately), and the case still just makes a slight bearable hum in my living room.
    • I ended up using the Enermax ETS N30-HE, but I had to buy a slimier fan in order for it to fit and exhaust the heat out the back while I had the cd drive bay installed
    • HEAT is the computers worst enemy - if you can keep them cool they will have a longer life
    • With the two 120mm fans blowing into the case right near the RAM and the CPU, heating shouldn't be an issue.
    • A special heat sink from prolimatech the Samuel 17 from another seller
    • rebuilt computer into this case with cooler master vortex heat sink cooler, corsair MX750 PSU with 5 120mm and 2 80mm case fans.
    • This case will support a beast of a card but it will also sacrifice a lot of room for cables, as well as, at least, one of the 3.5 drive spaces
