COMPUTEX 2007: Zalman makes yet another stunning case, but instead of crazy heatpipes and passive cooling we get integrated watercooling.

Looking good but it'll be expensive just like the SilverStone one...
And I think the BT community wouldn't buy pre-watercooled cases, right?

It makes sence to make a case like this one after there heatpipe cases

I have one problem with tha case though

if you look at the front there are only 3x 5.25" and only 1x 3.5" drive bay. I don't know about you but i have more stuff in the front of my PC then that

That looks totally sweet IMO!

Any word on what kinda pump is in it?

Bindibadgi · 11th Jun 2007, 15:53

Nothing, sorry. It was a technical demonstration and I was literally just shooting through the booth on my way elsewhere when I noticed it.

Hazchem · 11th Jun 2007, 16:46

I love the side panel idea, but the dials on the front could look better I think, tasty case though!

Anakha · 11th Jun 2007, 16:57

TBH, I think that side rad could be a lot more dense. From the looks of it, it only passes across the side panel 3 times, with a lot of space for turning. That could easily be tightened, giving more heat transfer.

I cant see it being for the high performance water people tbh ?!!

It's not. It's for cooling with silence.

trig · 11th Jun 2007, 17:30

did anyone else notice it uses both sides of the case to passively cool? nice.

Buzzons · 11th Jun 2007, 17:56

ai that is damn nice

samkiller42 · 11th Jun 2007, 18:02

That is a nice looking case, although, its not as nice as a Lian li

I want this now! dont care how much it costs - it will be mine

./^\.Ace./^\. · 11th Jun 2007, 19:02

Shure you get the cooling built right in but you lose any chance of having a window in the case and look at the front, there are like no drive bays. I need at least 4x 5.25" and 1x 3.5". even then if I wanted a LCD display infront then I would need 5x 5.25" drive bays.

Fod · 11th Jun 2007, 19:06

what? there are 3 drive bays... i only ever need two - what the hell do you need four for?

you can get LCDs that take up only 2 Drive bays, i'd hate to see what kinda LCD needs 5.

and windows are pointless

DarkLord7854 · 11th Jun 2007, 19:32

I wonder if they include the blocks

pendragon · 11th Jun 2007, 19:34

wow... that's an impressive case! looks awesome too!

zhangmaster12 · 11th Jun 2007, 20:05

ooooooo thats very nice!

i want one

Hmm if they only could have hidden that 120mm radiator in the back inside the case it would look so much better. Dont like the lower part of the front either, otherwise it looks great.
