Test: Einzeltest: SilverStone DS380
Zitat: There´s no doubt that the DS380 will out-live many other PC cases. It´s extremely sturdy indeed and had enough airflow to deal with plenty of hard disks and some fairly decent hardware. We´ve got no qualms about recommending it if no other mini-ITX offerings suit your needs in terms of large amounts of storage. However, we do feel the ability to house a large graphics card is probably not best-suited to the DS380. It´s certainly possible, and as our testing showed, super-short PCB models such as the GeForce GTX 750 Ti don´t even interfere with the large drive cage. It´s likely in the APU arena that the DS380 will shine, though, or at the very least be easier to live with and build. There´s limited space and very few cable tidying options so we´d be tempted to ditch a discrete graphics card and maybe invest in a PCI-E RAID card instead. After all, very few if any mini-ITX motherboards are out-of-the-box equipped with more than four SATA ports anyway, leaving you with a need to find four more to occupy all the DS380´s drive mounts, and that´s not even including the four extra 2.5in mounts. As an HTPC with something like an A10-7850K with some grunt for 720p/1080p gaming plus enough space for the most storage hungry users, the DS380 fits this bill nicely, although we´d imagine it has quite a niche appeal too.
