Case PC Silverstone GD11 HTPC bianco

The Silverstone GD11 HTPC White is a compact HTPC case designed for home theatre PC setups and small-footprint builds. It features a stereo-shaped minimalist exterior in white, supports ATX, Micro ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards, and accepts ATX power supplies. The case supports up to three 3.5" drives and one 2.5" drive, includes two pre-installed 120 mm front fans and allows additional 120 mm fans on the sides. It also supports a 240 mm liquid cooling radiator and long, high-end graphics cards (maximum GPU length: 340 mm*), combining small size with flexible component compatibility.

Advantages

The GD11 provides enhanced airflow with a dual-chamber air passage design that separates CPU and GPU intake paths for more targeted cooling. Its support for a 240 mm radiator is unique for the Grandia series and enables liquid cooling in a compact HTPC chassis. The case offers multiple storage options with space for three 3.5" drives and one 2.5" drive, and the white, minimalist styling integrates smoothly into living-room environments while accommodating high-end graphics cards up to the listed length.

How to use

Install a compatible ATX, Micro ATX or Mini-ITX motherboard and an ATX power supply, then mount storage drives into the designated 3.5" and 2.5" bays. Fit the graphics card up to the supported length and arrange cooling: use the two pre-installed 120 mm front fans and add side 120 mm fans or a 240 mm radiator in the supported location if liquid cooling is required. Route cables to maintain the dual-chamber airflow path so CPU and GPU intakes remain separated for optimal component cooling.

Recommendations

For balanced thermal performance in an HTPC setup, install the 240 mm radiator if using a high-TDP CPU, keep the front 120 mm fans for intake, and add side fans if your GPU runs warm. Verify GPU length before purchase (listed as 340 mm*) and ensure adequate clearance for drives and connectors.
