Zalman Z9 Plus

Mon, 21 Mar 2011 12:21:11 -0400

The Z9 Plus is a desktop computer mid tower case, with a design intended to maximize cooling, and enough interior room to install a 290mm card. It supports up to seven cooling fans, and includes on at the front, top, side, and rear of the unit. Like the Z9 case, it features the ability to water cool your unit, viz two tube apertures at the back of the case. However the Z9 includes only two cooling fans, with the option to install more on the back and front of the unit.

The Mini P180 contains all of the same features as the larger P182 such as removable drive cages for easy drive mounting, rails for easy installation / removal of optical and main drives, sound dampening on the walls of the case, pre-drilled holes for a water cooling system's reservoir, dust filters on the front intakes, and good cable management to allow hot components better access to fresh air. While the case does have setbacks, such as poor intake due to a great deal of physical obstruction, it remains quite popular amonst modders, gamers, and fans of silent computing. For those uninterested in modifying or investing in fans, the P180 comes with 3 preinstalled Antec Tri-Cool fans with 3 different speed settings, however, the top exaust has gone from a regular 120mm fan on the P182 to a ginormous 200mm one.

SilverStone LC17

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 04:34:26 -0400

The SilverStone LC17 is an HTPC case. The chassis' main selling points are its aesthetics, high internal drive space and potential for low noise. Numerous vents and mountings for fans allow for the use of lower speed fans, which means less noise to interfere with playing media. The LC17 has space for six hard drives, giving the potential for greater media storage. Silver and black color options and drive faceplates are designed to allow the chassis blend with other devices with its 'clean design.' The lack of advanced HTPC features and price of the LC17 positions it as an entry-level chassis.

Thermaltake Xpressar RCS100

Thu, 21 May 2009 22:56:14 -0400

The Thermaltake Xpressar RCS100 is a high-end custom desktop PC case. It is more specifically designed for "gamers" which doesn't necessarily mean video game enthusiasts; it just simply refers to power users who require maximum performance rigs. The most prominent feature of the Xpressar RCS100 is the unique integrated micro compressor which acts as a refrigerant cooling system. Thermaltake claims the compressor keeps the inside of the Xpressar case "20ºC cooler than a liquid cooling system". The RCS100 is also equipped with an "intelligent" IC controller which helps prevent condensation on the interior hardware.

The Thermaltake Xpressar RCS100 also includes additional features such as a noise reduction body material design, a wide range of fully compatible motherboards, a super tower (extra spacey) design, a sliding motherboard tray and cable management system, and included front, top, and VGA fans.

The NZXT Panzerbox is a mid-tower welded aluminum chassis designed to accommodate an ATX, Micro-ATX or Baby AT motherboard. Featured is space for three fans, a removable motherboard tray, and an ultra-light frame critics say is 50% lighter than most ATX form factor cases. Inside its very spacious, in that there’s plenty of room for large power modules, fans, and even a radiator or reservoir & pimp. Featured also are four hard drives, three optical bays, and parts (included) to install a separately purchased dual 120mm radiator. However, critics noted there is no dust filter, and that the fans can get loud and noisy. In addition the PSU may block graphics cards with large cooling solutions, and there is no external 3.5” bay. They do however hail the Panzerbox for having a sturdy frame and a hard drive cage that is rubber mounted.

The WingMA is an entry-level case designed with an eye towards the requirements of an average home or office PC.

This model features a 120mm exhaust fan on the rear of the case, with airflow designed to be drawn from the front so that it passes over and cools the hard drives on its way through. The main pannel of the case also has a detachable CPU air guide, which is designed to direct hot air from the CPU heat sink directly out of the case. This case also features forward-facing audio and microphone jacks, as well as two USB ports.
