As far as build quality, Silverstone does a good job. There's a good bit of plastic, but it's high quality plastic, and per my picture, it doesn't look out of place in a TV console/entertainment center. There are multiple air intakes which are all filtered, very important especially if you have pets that shed. The filters are not magnetic, but are otherwise easily removable for cleaning.
Being a larger case, this has some advantages over smaller HTPC cases in that you can fit larger GPU's and CPU coolers, as I did. It also has a 5.25 in. bay so if you wanted to add an optical drive, you could. I decided against this since I already have an Xbox for watching DVD's and Blu Rays.
My major gripes are:
1. There is no manual included with the case. A QR code for it is printed on the box, but the manual is not beginner friendly. There is little explanation of how different screws are used. I was able to figure it out, but I've built multiple PC's before, you might have a harder time of it.
2. Despite this being a larger case, there isn't much cable management room, unlike a traditional ATX mid-tower, there's no back panel where cables can be routed. For example, I routed the 8-pin CPU power under the motherboard, as it was not long enough for what the apparent recommended use for it was (to have it go around the edge of the motherboard). Additionally, the only additional hard drive mount I could find was one built into the bracket that would hold the optical drive.
3. The design of the expansion slot covers is rather maddening. The way to access the screws that hold them on is to stick your screwdriver through the small hole directly above each one. If your screwdriver is too wide to fit through this hole, either you'll need to find a skinner one, or have your fat one hit the gym.
In conclusion, this case isn't bad, per se. It does give some utility that you wouldn't get from most smaller HTPC cases. If you want to use this case for your own HTPC build, I would suggest the following:
1. Definitely use at least a semi-modular power supply.
2. For storage, go with M.2 drives wherever possible. Outside of that, 2.5 in. SSD's velcroed or double-sided taped to the walls of the case would be the next best option.
3. Make sure you have plenty of airflow. The case comes with a 120mm fan preinstalled, but there's mounting for 2 more (a 3rd mount is used by your power supply's fan), as well as mounts for 2x 80mm fans for exhaust. If you want the best performance, especially if you have it in a TV console, you'll need good airflow. I ended up with 2x 120mm fans for intake and 2x 80mm for exhaust.
4. If you want to include an optical drive (DVD/Blu Ray), make sure you get a low profile CPU cooler, or else you will not have room to route cables.

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2023
This new case is thin metal, doesn't hold hardly any 3.5 inch hdds and includes only 1 fan. I could have bought a corsair 4000d airflow with a glass panel and 2 fans for less. I read some reviews saying the case feels cheap and they are 100% correct. I needed a case for a camera server and this works, but it really is constructed cheaply and way over priced.
Since her PC was 12 years old and I already had all the parts on hand to build a new one, I opted to buy this SilverStone case instead and give her a major upgrade.
The case isn't perfect, but it is very nearly so. My daughter is thrilled with her new PC's look and the huge boost in performance the new motherboard, CPU, and GPU gave her.
There aren't many options out there for a desktop case that can accommodate a full size ATX motherboard and a large video card and I felt fortunate to find an affordable case that met all of my requirements.
It was a very tight fit for a full ATX motherboard, video card, Blu-ray player, and two hard drives but I somehow fit it all in there. One recommendation is I would avoid it if you have a liquid cooler and a full ATX as there’s almost no way to fit it in there with a fan so I ended up placing it in there without one as I don’t plan to run anything too taxing on it. Overall I’m happy with the purchase but probably best for mini and micro ATX motherboards.

Highly recommend.
A - fits an ATX sized motherboard &
B - fits in a TV stand
Was hard to find, especially taking a full sized GPU.
Thankfully, buddies GPU (I built his system with this) uses a RX 5700xt blower edition so it helps exhaust heat. Placed 2 80mm Noctua fans on the back for exhaust, 3 120mm fans on the sides for intake and so far so good, keeping thr system cool enough (but not good enough as gpu fan really likes to speed up to help).
Cable management is non existent so if one plans to build with this, make sure to buy cable ties/zip ties and try as best as possible to minimize use of PSU cables.
I originally bought it to get second HTPC built and quickly realized it's not capable of supporting anything but low-tier builds in 2023. Setting aside the overall low build quality (metal is very thin, paint quality on the top is rough) GD09 case layout doesn't really allow for decent cooling and quiet system build for a mid-range or higher tier system anymore.
Nobody needs 5.25" drive bay anymore nowadays on top of that. Makes the whole build look like it belongs to early-2000s.
I agree with all the complaints about non-existent cable management and limited drive slots from other reviewers, but what GD09 is really lacking in my opinion is AIO cooling support which is pretty much the must for a compact modern build in 2023.
Remember - you can't fit any really decent air cooling in this case no matter what due to 138 mm cooler height limitation. For a quiet yet efficient build Noctua NH-U9S or NH-C14S (with bottom mounted cooler, which MAY potentially create RAM modules compatibility issues) is all this case allows for. Thus you can't really build a silent system with a 13600K or alike in it. Not to mention anything better. This does prevent you from building a living room entertainment PC with VR set or a big screen gaming PC for AAA titles.
GD09 is a niche solution and thus it already costs significantly more than you would expect from a case with similar features and build quality.
If you are looking to build system from scratch and want to make it future proof and universal go with GD11 instead. It does cost 50% more which brings computer case price well above what a lot of us consider reasonable but once again - this is a niche solution and needs to be viewed as so when considering cost.
I do not think that building a living room PC or HTPC nowadays with a low performance components makes sense at all - it's better to go with one of those readily available mini PCs (if you must have a Windows system) or even Nvidia Shield Android TV Pro streamer if streaming is all you care about.
And GD09 will not really allow you to build anything else, unfortunately and arguably speaking not worth your investment.
