ZalmanZ1 Plus ATX Mid-Tower PC Case - Tempered Glass Side Panel - 3 x 120mm Fans Pre-Installed - 5.25" ODD Support - USB 3.0 - Desktop Computer Chassis

A good solid case. Easy access to both sides, good flexible wire loom from the power supply makes for a clean install. RGB ready to accept the modules, has several 2.5 inch & 3.5-inch drive bays and an Optical drive bay as well. Fluid bearing fans that you cannot hear running at all, sided with a tempered glass side, showing all the internals. Very light weight but very well manufactured in a modular type of format. I would definitely buy again.

When you have lots of Optical archive data, and NEED a DVD drive Slot in a case, you will need a case like this for a personal build. I looked at what seemed like HUNDREDS of cases and found lots with ODD bay slots, either one or 5 or something in between, hardly any had style, functionality and ease of maintenance like the Zalman Z1, I would have gone for an Antec Flux 502DP if I could have found one new for sale, it has a hidden ODD bay and swing out door. For the $69.99 price this lists for, you get 3 non-RGB fans, a high airflow case with that sexy glass side window and all the cables strategically hidden behind the motherboard and in the PSU basement. I liked this case so much I bought one for a good friends build to check the quality and was so impressed I bought another one for myself. I highly recommend this case if you want to show off the build, NEED an ODD bay for a Blu-Ray/DVD burner/Player and you don't want to spend over $80 bucks shipped to your door. It is very well built. thicker gauge steel than competitors like "Cougar" for instance. You have room for at least 2 HDD and 3 2.5 SSD drives as well. Plenty to love about this case in my opinion.

Solid case with plenty of mounting spots for drives and good internal room for airflow. Able to route cables throughout the case and keep them out of sight. The biggest reason for selecting this case was it still had an option for a 5.25 inch optical drive. The only real drawback was it was not a toolless case.

The first case arrived dented, but looked very good in quality, it was a shipping mishap. When I requested a replacement, the seller went out his way to make sure I was satisfied--great support for the product. The new case arrived and looked perfect, the form/fit/function of this case is one of the best I've worked with. Excellent cable troughs, good power supply compartment layout, everything fit like a glove. Plenty of room for cable routing in the case with convenient places to zip-tie them out of the way, and look nice through the window. I replaced the rear fan with a blue LED fan and the case interior lights up nicely. The system is quiet and efficient thanks to this case and it's fans. At this price, I couldn't ask for more. I am very pleased and would recommend it to a friend.

The media could not be loaded. Pretty good case , needed one with a CD Drive, always a plus. (PS3/Wii Emulation). Came with 4 Fans (i think), i removed them and added 6 RGB , has a dust filter , and extra screws. This has more than enough room even for my Death Note Rem figure. THE GLASS IS THE MYSTIC! BEAUTIFUL.Be sure to search if there are replacements on this Tempered Glass just in case.

Honestly, the case design is great, and the tempered glass is a nice touch.I absolutely hated the fan mounting, the screws were lined up in such a way that you can only put everything in a specific place, although having areas where the fans could be mounted but can't get a screwdriver in there because the hard drive bays are literally in front of it. To fix this,, i would have put a way to mount the fans in by hand.. I would have very much liked to have my HDD bays and PSU cooled by the extra fans in front as it appeared you could do from the tracks.The Power supply must be taken out to screw in HDDs below, so be very careful about that.The case is a large size and although the above things were incredibly frustrating when building a new PC even from scratch, the things I noticed about this case will make me very wary of these bugs and features in the future.The instructions for things like the RGBPower cable or whatever it was were non-existent and I had to ask YouTube/Google. Since it didn't match any port on my motherboard. Will never be buying this case again.

Like: easy access to all compartments of case. fans are easily moveable. Had to move 1 which faced my CPU Cooler fan, but in the opposite air directions. screws are very tiny, recommend a magnetic screw driver to keep from dropping them on the board. Had one screw hole over a PCIe card slot that was too loose for the recommended screw, and too small for the next size up. I am currently working this out. I selected this tower to use the ODD option, but found that the power supply I purchased did not have a power cord long enough to wrap around the tower's compartment inlets. Bought an extender for ~$8. Problem solved. I like the glass panel. It shows off the LED components.

My last computer case had a serious dust and airflow problem, so bad that the PC would shut down due to CPU over heating. So I got this Zalman Z1 Plus case instead.It has a sturdy build and fits the hutch (PC compartment) of most computer desks. The glass side panel allows you to easily monitor the internals of your PC. There are air vents at the front, top, bottom and rear of the case, meaning great airflow and lower CPU temperature. The ports and buttons are conveniently placed at the top of the tower, so plugging in peripherals is much easier. Highly recommended!
