Zalman GS1000 Full-Tower Case

Tue, 10 Feb 2009 23:48:40 -0600

You want a big, breezy, E-ATX case. You've gone over your floor plans, moved the furniture around, checked the availability of outlets, and made sure the space next to your desk can withstand the weight. Good. You're ready. There are only a few options that don't look like recycled server equipment, and Zalman's got their entry. Of course, these enclosures get expensive. This particular case's appeal is that it's not that expensive. It's available for less than $200, but it's got the slick looks and volume of cases that cost another fifty or more. So we know that something's left out of this case; the Cosmos has all kinds of NVIDIA ESA hardware, that adds to the sticker, but the Zalman 1000 has a SATA hot-swap cage, those probably add about the same build costs. What's been overlooked? Construction, or fit-and-finish?

SilverStone TJ09 Full-Tower Case

Fri, 30 Mar 2007 00:28:10 -0500

Today we'll be looking at the Silverstone TJ09 Full-Tower Case. It sports a handful of innovations such as a separate hard drive section and unique video card cooling. The accolades for the TJ09 are already piling up, and Maximum PC is calling this their 2006 Dream Machine case. For the price, it might just be dream-worthy, too. There's not much doubt that the TJ09 will live up to Silverstone's reputation for quality, but does it actually merit the acclaim? Is it a steal for a mere three hundred United States dollars?

Silverstone TJ07 Full-Tower Case

Tue, 28 Feb 2006 21:06:26 -0600

It is painfully obvious that this case is being marketed towards the select few that can pay a high price for exceptional quality and aesthetics, but will the TJ07 be the Ferrari of computer chassis or will it end up being an over-priced hunk of aluminum?

Thermaltake Armor Full Tower ATX / BTX Case

It seems as if Thermaltake designed this entire case perfectly from the ground up. It was very hard for me to find any flaws in the case, and the only things I disliked were based on opinion. It is rare to see a case with performance and quality all undeniable and I have to give Thermaltake an A+ for this fine piece of work.

Enermax MaxFlow Full Tower Case

Thu, 17 Feb 2005 20:49:57 -0600

With two 120mm fans and a translucent blue shroud running the length of the case, this case promises to provide adequate airflow for even a fanless CPU cooler. And since the included fans are 120mm and come with a fan controller, it should still be suitably quiet.
