Is there any 'budget' cases which support 4 optical drives?
Looks pretty nice for the money.
The only gripe that I have is that power/reset button.
I watched a LinusTechTips unboxing video, and it seemed a little awkward to operate it. I would have preferred proper circular compressible buttons insead of a single bar.
My family's old pc is starting to falter, and this might be the start of a replacement...
That lil zalman does look fantastic for the money.

Looks good, as long as we don't get the usual $60 turning into £60
Any news on Corsair 900D release date?
Bear in mind the Zalman T1 is MicroATX / MiniITX only, the Z9 at £50+ is ATX but also get good reviews.Originally Posted by shaithis
Looks a lot like my Antec 300.
That's definitely a good thing!
Just from the looks I would have expected it to come in at a much higher price point. Here's an unboxing video on it as I prefer having someone tell me to having to read it!
Corsair Carbide 200R Unboxing
That looks a nice case for the money.
Corsair is one of my favourite brands and they just keep impressing.
They really have some competent people there.
I can't wait for this review and release.
Can add a triple rad there as well!
why would a budget builder need 4 optical drives? Surely one is enough.
For the cash that looks great. Especially with USB 3 support which isnt often offered on lower price cases.

Not for me unfortunately.
That Zalman is a piece of crap when it comes to cable management.
