I have read a review on the new Zalman case - looks pretty promising. They obviously put a lot of work into making the case function well. Don't you think the details are a little lacking though? Like the power button, the access panel and just the general styling? Maybe they'll get to that when these go into production.

I'm miffed at the DAHW speaker set though. Look real similar to the JBL Creatures that were popular a few years ago.

Nice kit! Noticed they are starting to advertise some of those media pc's for sale in some places here

Hiren · 30th Mar 2004, 13:17

Ah man that Zalamn WC fanless kit looks so damn nice and big

What are the chances of that being knocked over due to it's narrow base and high height.

Woah, some of that stuff is BEUTIFUL

MadD_b0mBeR · 30th Mar 2004, 21:41

ahhh yes.. but that BTX socket/plug!

looks like were all gonna be forced into buying a BAD design (again) if we wanna 'upgrade'. Still, looks like there just trying to go to BGA (ball grid arrays) on the CPUs to make them cheaper (instead shift the cost to the mobo, make intel/amd look good). Oh hang on, VIA have been using BGA for ages

and look! so MANY 'media' PCS!

i will see u all over at the SFF forum in 6 months time then

Those Kanam HTPC cases look superb, really want something like that for a music/hifi PC (I want something that will fit in well with my separates) that I am considering building....bet they cost a mint though

NissanFrontier · 31st Mar 2004, 21:51

I want one of those Frontier Cases

. I really like the black and yellow one. They would match my username on here too

.

That devil looking case was on sale at newegg.com a couple of weeks ago. It's not the completely the same but looks almost the same.

How small is that Megware tubing? Must be hella restrictive - any idea how well it performs?

<A88> · 2nd Apr 2004, 14:22

Is it just me or do the new Lian-Li cases look like that of the Apple G5s?!

I think it is 6mm but I would guess it's performance is more than adaquate. Most home WC systems tend to go for brute force rather than real engineering when it comes to sizing.
