Looking for recommendations here for a decent but not too expensive HTPC case. Requirements: 3.5" and 2.5" drive support. One for each is fine as I have a 6TB drive and 240GB SSD. GPU support - got an ITX size Zotac 1060 so no need for long GPU support. Useful 5.25" bay - got a blu ray drive I'd like to move out of my main rig and in to this. Standard ATX PSU - I already have one but happy to buy an SFX PSU if required. mATX motherboard support - using a mini ITX board but wiggle room for future changes always nice. I've had a look at a couple of Silverstone cases - GD05 and GD09 - but would like to know what others are using or have had experience with.
I can certainly vouch for the Silverstone GD05 which I bought as I needed something to fit in a predetermined space. Plenty of internal space for everything and will certainly fill your requirements.
Looking at the spec it says 3.5" x 2 , 2.5” x 1 or 3.5" x 1 , 2.5” x 2 internal which on taking off the top cover on my is pretty much right though there is a fair bit of spare space for some sort of modded cage I suspect.
Do like my GD05b. Pretty sure you can put a 3.5 drive on the bottom of the left cover, along with a 2.5 above the PSU on the same side. 5.25 drive bay is covered (just make sure you have a low profile cooler. Stock Intel fits just fine.
I saw this thread and thought, great I know of a great HTPC case, then read your requirements released that the case I had in mind only meet 3 of 7. In case your were wondering, I was going to suggest a Streacom case. I personal have a FC5 WS and love it.
