Hmm, seems zalman is going silverstone/coolermaster/lianli road. I don't think it will be a silent case, but it with right fans it may be quiet.

It looks good, it has a style?

I dont know how many people will like the PSU mounting, or use some kind of thread tight product on the screws.

the front is too open

Strange, considering they have grills on the bottom of the case. Having air pulled from the bottom of the case would decrease noise because it's even further away from the user than side-intakes, but they have a super-open front. Go figure.

I just found this review of the case. (Or maybe slightly different case as it's labeled "FATAL1TY FC-ZE1") Bling aside, the hard drive mounting looks very interesting. Soft-mounted but still "locked" in place. Don't have to worry about it falling out or banging when moving it. But it's hard to tell from the pictures exactly how it's being held in place.

I think it looks "cool", and the construction looks pretty damn solid

I would however not buy it, i would want an option without the window and the warning texts. It also kind of surprises me that a case designed for gamers is so heavy, i would think they need to carry it to LANs.. I would definately want a heavy case, but not if i was to carry it around all the time.

I would imagine Zalman comes out with a model with less "features" like the window and texts at some point.

I think it looks cool, even if the graphics are a little bit over the top. And it looks like the drives are soft-mounted.

However, the stock LED fans look ridiculous, and at 2800 and 1800 rpm will be quite loud.

I would hope so. If they did I would be interested in one but not as it is.
