I am thinking about switching over to the Zalman GS1000 case. It seems to have a lot of nice features and best of all it hold EATX motherboards. What do you all think of the design for quietness and airflow? I just ordered their 1000W power supply also. Not that I need the power but I like that it stays quite for the whole power range I would be using. Would the fan be mounted down in this configuration?

It looks very good, but I don't think the hdd cooling is the best.

Yeah, that was the one part i am not sure about. In the Armor case I have there is a fan right in front of the hard drive bay which is nice. I do plan on switching to all SSD drives though this year so I don't think it will be as important.
