#27 - SilverStone Grandia GD04 HTPC Case Unboxing Video

[pfernando27]

does anyone think this guy had a tragic experience because he alwas says not to cut to deep. lol

[barf245]

@pfernando27 on a side note there i ran across my middle finger with a razer knife while opening a box a few years back still got a cool scar

[pfernando27]

remember to cut really deep as to damage your own case. lol

[Acfeiln]

Honestly I think you could turn this case into a decent mATX gaming rig. The air circulation options are absolutely exceptional - you could use a Corsair H50 for the CPU and attach the radiator to the 120mm intake closest to the exhaust, the 120mm intake right next to that provides some flow for the RAM sticks, and the 120mm intake on the other side helps out with the GPUs...stick an i7 in there, a GTX 295 or two, depending on wether or not you want a sound card, and voila!

[MortenTheDude]

@Acfeiln The H50 wouldn't fit! the mobo is too close to the 120mm fan. I testet myself, now i need a diffrent cooler

[Acfeiln]

@MortenTheDude aw man =/ I'd just get a tower cooler that fits in the case's height spec then. But that's a bummer.

[MortenTheDude]

@Acfeiln H50 wouldnt fit

[dfsftw]

I think companies donate the stuff so he can review it.

[smallini]

how can u afford all this shit

[GundamAngelicDevil]

just a small question (and I'm sure an amateur question), is it better to have a DVD player? or HTPC? I already have an idea in my head, but I want some reassurance :)

Thanks.

[0TOM007]

A HTPC is not only for DVD's,

If you have a alot of pictures or digital movie's on a Hard drive its easier to have an HTCP

[eyegoldeneye]

With the quantity of media we generally view online vs on tv. HTPC's peel us away from our computer rooms/chairs and into the family room again, as the TV did in the 50s from books and radio..

[psycopyro001]

HTPC, it plays dvds and stores them too...

[MrGone2k]

Very nice looking case! This might be the next case I'll get for my htpc build.

[osok26]

Hey ppl like unboxing videos! dont mess with it!

[nicht1337]

unboxingvideos.. kinda senceless..??!! :D:D

[pokerface3699]

unboxing vids show you what comes with the product itself, so you dont waste money on say like cable ties (although he or she might be too cheap if they dont want to buy cable ties)

[Boonchocks]

sexxxy...

I like the looks of this one for an HTPC case and nice touch with the way it holds a 5.25" optical drive on the inside but only ejects the tray.

[legendray2008]

Elegant

love it :D

[altops]

hey rod you gotta buy the stuff you review or is it a write off from the companies?

[purewolfgod1]

I think that the companies give him a certain product for free if he does a video about them like this one. It might not be the case for him but for some other youtube PC reviewers they get them like that.

[ArmyofSeaturtles]

he doesnt buy em anymore hes gets em from companies

[gor1l1a]

What a great looking case!

[cusinndzl]

Nice video.

[Kenster1025]

Looks like a good case, too bad there is no read out screen at the front like some other HTPC cases, I guess you can just use a monitor or HDTV screen for that.

[sabakunogaara92]

i know some lines of yours by heart =D

[Danielcory]

hello again im rodey renolds and welcome to another video review.....this is a "insert rating here" product :D

[sabakunogaara92]

i meant "not to cut too deep because you could damage the product inside of the box" exactly xD

[tehraztor]

silverstone rocks, i have the raven rv02:D

[k4ZE106]

second that: silverstone rocks

i have the TJ07 :D

[Charlaweyd]

looks nice

[3DGAMEMAN]

BTW: I'm making some of my videos private at first so YouTube can process them in HD. Once processed I make them public. This will hopefully cut down on some of the, "Why isn't this video in HD" questions.

[acidburn675]

Would you ever review graphics card water blocks? Would be nice for you to show us the best ones out there. :]

[TheLittleWorldofGaz]

sweet, it's really appriceated :)

[GordonT92]

smart thinking :)

[taltigolt]

you can always do like i do type a comment that hd will be available when the video is done processing also stops others from saying 1st

[3DGAMEMAN]

People who still ask. YouTube needs to add an option to only public the video when HD is processed.

[RyanChristianson]

Rofl its like the people who always ask why theres more comments then views

[taltigolt]

i think they used to have it like that having a spinning ring which said "processing" and the video couldn't be watched untill that was done

however youtube litterly wen't down in the beginning of 2009

i just type a comment everytime i made a video that says "HD will be available when the video is done processing" helped alot

[GlenrothesFTW]

Thank you Rodney, I'm sick of these morons who don't understand that it takes time to process.

[xNightmareBeta]

i have a good question for you. A tech question n food for thought. What is the future of computers. 32nm, 28nm etc and core their speeds prototype SSD drives, moore's law etc

[operationturkey]

Quantum computing will probably make its way into desktop PCs within the next 50 years or so, giving far greater performance than the current technology. Until then, probably just die shrinks and architecture improvements.

[Niosus]

50 years ago computers were still mechanical for a big part. Not even the slightest sign of a microchip. Right now there is one in your toothbrush.

The moment they have a working prototype: 10-15 years MAX before it's common.

[Davidopoland]

Is this also You'r the first HD review ?

[lodnaellid2]

what kind of a camcorder do you use??

[mobilemarshall]

Good idea.

[Whambadambadamdoo]

nice looking case! the name reminds me of the grandia games, man how i loved grandia 2!

[csmaster65]

good`?

[dada10000]

[ArnoldHC]

I wish i was you
