Zalman maintains its reputation of the developer of products that are different from others. The Zalman GS1000 is a perfect system case for building a top-end computer. It supports E-ATX mainboards, allows to hide the cables and provides easy access to...
The Zalman GS1000 I think is one of the better cases to be manufactured this year when it comes to functionality and pricing. The six removeable hard drive trays them themselves would set you back a few benjamins alone. The cooling possibilities are tr...
Stylin, Sturdy, Genius use of thumbscrews, Roomy, Easy to install
Only two fans, Sharp edges mostly everywhere, Poorlyfitted plastic bezels, No vibrationdampening, Cheap hard drive cages, Way more plastic than meets the eye
It would be easy to think this was a great case at a distance, or in pictures. In person, things dont add up. Its not that its bad, its just not good for the price. You can get other, much finer chassis for the same amount of cash or even less, and...

Overall I like this case. The fit and finish is excellent and the blend of high-gloss (black or Titanium) and brushed aluminum finishes looks great. There is plenty of room inside to work along with good cable management. There are also plenty of d...

No dust filters on intake fan areas, No active cooling on HDD area - could be an issue to 10,000rpm SATA drives
Zalman GS1000 is a full tower case targeted to the high-end user that wants a good quality case full of features but doesn’t want to pay a lot for an all-aluminum product. Here is a summary of what we found about this case.Strong PointsOutstanding q...
