Hi everyone,

Im thinking of getting the above case, and every review ive seen says its awesome, but I am slightly concerned about a couple of areas with it:

1. Its a couple of years old now, will it provide enough cooling? Ive got a Q6600, 5 Hard Drives, GTX280
2. Will the fans be too loud?
3. No Cable Management

Do you guys reckon it will be ok? Also, will it cope with i7 if I eventually upgrade?

Thanks for any advice

p.s Bit-tech sucks ass, this place already feels better!!

For that price it could be worth looking a decent LianLi case. But if your heart is set on it, I don't see why not, I've never used the case, but from what I've heard it's pretty good, as for cable management? Zip ties and a dremel ;)

Get a decent Lian Li or Silverstone case IMO.

I've just read through this review, not a bad looking, sounding case.

(Pure coincidence it's a bit-tech review btw, I just googled and was interested to look at their review style for obvious reasons lol)

yeah, i saw that review but they are using fairly old components, wasnt sure what it would be like with a GTX280 in there!

The only other case I quite like the look of is the Silverstone FT01, but it looks a bit plain to me. I did think of doing some light modding (lights, etching etc), but wouldn't really know where to start with that.

I think if you guys reckon the Zalman will keep my system cool enough, and will be ok for future as well, ill probably go for it. Ive got a Cosmos S at the moment, which is too big, so I dont want to make the wrong choice again!!

Thanks
