Showcase Silverstone GD07 HTPC chassis

Alright, as always we start with packaging, so you know what to look for in the stores. Well, ehm... you guys do still visit stores, riiiight?

Inside the box, the HTPC chassis. It is well packaged in Styrofoam and a plastic bag. Included is a small box with the following:

Next to the chassis you'll find some small extra's like a manual, screws, extender and USB 3.0 native to USB 2.0 motherboard connector.

So here we have the GD07 after unpacking. The Grandia GD07 exposes itself to be an eye-catching piece of hardware. It is soft black with rounded aluminum feet and at first glance you might feel it is one of those expensive home theater receivers. 

As you can see, the DVD tray bezel is missing here and hey where is the front panel IO you might wonder. Well obviously it is all nicely hidden away behind that massive door.
