The all-aluminium Zalman ZMachine GT1000-TI looks solid and flaunts plenty of style. The aluminium design is reminiscent of Hi-Fi systems with enormous silver volume controls and does for PC cases what stainless steel fridges did for kitchens, made the...

The Zalman ZMachine GT1000-TI is a very stylish case with an interesting and manageable design. There are no points lost for the lack of a removable motherboard tray, but the design could have allowed for it, which is disappointing.

Having been a longstanding fan and avid user of the Lian Li line of computer chassis; I find that it is difficult to be absolutely wow’ed by another manufacturer’s attempt to overthrow the chassis king. Zalman is not new to the game, having been in b...

Video Review: If you're in the market for a very well constructed, thick aluminum mid-tower case, than the Zalman Z-Machine GT1000 Case is for you. With four external 5.25" drive bays, one external 3.5" drive bay and 6 internal drive bays, there lots of places to install drives. Although the front HDD cage which houses up to four HDDs does hinder air circulation. Speaking of air circulation, there are two 92mm fans at the front of the case and one 120mm fan at the back of the case. Since it is a mid-...

One of the main perks of building your own computer is choosing your case. No matter how cool or unique a case from a PC manufacturer may be, it’s no match for some of the creations released by after-market producers. Whether your tastes lean to...

With the introduction of the Z-Machine GT1000 chassis, Zalman has produced a worthy successor to their earlier Fatal1ty offering. I liked the Fatal1ty a lot; I like the Z-Machine a lot more. The GT1000 is better looking, easier to work in, has more ha...

As enthusiasts, were always looking for the next great design in computer cases. Were eager to see companies innovate in various areas of design, including cooling, tool-less installation, and style. When we see a new case hit the market, we often...
Zalman definitely created a special case with the Z-Machine GT1000, and we wouldnt argue with the companys assertion that it is a high end enclosure, whether its for gaming or any other use. The heavy duty aluminum creates the impression that this...

Earlier this year we reviewed Zalmans FZ-CE1 Fatal1ty case. Although we loved the build quality and design, having "Fatal1ty" etched on every flat surface really soured us on an otherwise stellar case. Zalman listened, and has introduced the Z-Machine...

Right out of the box you know the Z-Machine is special! The clean lines and beautiful anodized finish are impressive and the heavy-duty, industrial grade construction is obvious. Also noticeable, Zalman has toned down the white lettering on the Z-M...

Its hard not to compare Zalmans new Z-Machine GT1000 enclosure with their original entry into the high-end, mid-tower enthusiast market, the Fatal1ty FC-ZE1. The Z-Machine GT1000 enclosure has obvious roots in the Fatal1ty design. But Zalman has...

In conclusion, I wouldn expect each and every reader out there to see the same justification in the GT1000 that I do. This is the case because of two simple reasons: I have one and its the best case I have seen produced, yet it costs too much for most s...

In this review, we have looked at the exterior of the GT1000 as well as the interior. We have teased Zalman for the ridiculous amount of logos on the Fatal1ty version of this case and pointed out the only significant flaw of the case, its lack of a po...

Wow! What a case. The Zalman GT 1000 certainly does raise the bar. The truly tool free optical and 3.5" drive mounting systems were the best I have EVER seen. Aside from ease of use, the HDD mounting on the floor and in the cage itself was lush wi...

Zalman is a name that many people associate with CPU and VGA cooling instead of cases. The truth is Zalman makes some pretty high-end cases that carry a high-end price tag. Weve looked at some of their HTPC cases in the past, as well as the FC-ZE1...

Pricey.
This case is a huge improvement over the earlier FC-ZE1. The FC-ZE1 "Fatal1ty" case was the first enthusiast oriented tower from Zalman and it had its share of issues. The GT1000 comes in two flavors - Black with red LED fans, or Titanium (Grey) wit...
