HEXUS.reviews :: Zalman FC-ZE1 Fatal1ty

[xrob]

i love the materials on this case, its just a shame they had to ruin it with the poor internal design/layout, and the ugly glowing fans, and the stupid fatal1ty crap, hes not even good.

Am wholly disappointed. £250 is a lot and for horrible advertising, cheap window, non-removable door, cheap back plates, 2 non-120mm fans on front, non-black thumbscrews, need to use thumbscrews on door, lack of stealth drive cover etc... I fail to see how you could award it hexus "extreme recommended"

Extremely questionable in my mind but each to their own. Deeply disappointing for Zalman... I don't mind paying £££ but only for quality. I agree with other poster, would rather get Antec 150 or 180 and use the change (£160 no less!!) for some truly useful components like core2duo or some very fast graphics....

Just IMHO

Lets just hope for Zalman's and Creative's sake that the next big gaming champion isnt called Fartknocker.

With all that advertising, it should be free, the cheeky sods.

mmm... "im such a 1337 gamer i have someone elses name on my case"...

with all that advertising fatality or whatever his name is should be paying YOU.

Is there an easy way to allow users to put there own name or game name on a case? Like some kind of decent quality transfers or something? That would be better than having the name of a Michael Schumacher look-a-like scrawled all over the place.


It can't be that hard to design decent cases...

But I bet they get huge sales of this anyway...

I would not ever spend £250 on a case that is in fact inferior to my beloved Akasa Eclipse 62, I am sure many will agree, but the Akasa (apart from the plastic fascia, but that is subject to personal preference) is better than this Zalman case in many areas, I won't need to go into too much detail here, but Zalman will have to go back to the drawing board with this one.
