SilverStone Grandia GD06 Case Review

Inside the SilverStone Grandia GD06

In order to open the Grandia GD06, you must remove its top panel, which is fastened to the chassis using regular screws. Upon opening the case, the first things you will see are the several disk drive bays, which need to be removed in order to install the power supply and motherboard. The motherboard tray has several metallic clips for you to fasten cables using ties.

The case supports video cards up to 11” (280 mm) and CPU coolers up to 2.75” (70 mm) tall. However, if you remove the 5.25”/3.5” bay bracket, you can install CPU coolers up to 4.7” (120 mm) tall. Obviously you won’t be able to have an optical drive in this case.

Expansion cards are fastened using regular screws.

Officially, the GD06 supports power supplies up to 5.9” (150 mm) deep, however you can fit a 6.3” (160 mm) unit – which is the most common power supply size nowadays – without any trouble.
