  • Abstract:  Video Review: The Zalman GS1000 Case is available in two color options and is made from aluminum, steel and plastic. The side panels are aluminum, inside is steel, but the remaining outside is plastic. At the front there are four 5.25" drive bays but two have a 5.25" to 3.5" drive bay adapters. Something unique to this case is the SATA Hot Swap HDD Cage system for the bottom three HDDs. The SATA data & SATA power connectors are inside the case. This system makes connecting & disconnecting HDDs is a snap. Watch the video to find out more.

  • The GS1000 was a bit of a let down for me as I was expecting it to look as good quality as it feels but I was sadly disappointed, if only it looked the part then I would definitely give it an extra star on its rating. If Zalman were to fix the problem...

  • Design, Qualité générale, Hot Swap, Paniers HDD, Cables Management, Silencieux en 5 volts
  • Bruit en 12 volts, Pas de 120 mm à lavant, Watercooling difficile à intégrer
  • Avec ce nouveau boitier, Zalman sattaque donc au milieu de gamme, et ce premier jet que constitue le GS1000 est plus que satisfaisant. Le style est sobre, malgré les pieds « biscornus », et la finition est à la hauteur de la marque. Les parties laquée...

  • Abstract:  Zalman, très connu pour ses systèmes de refroidissement qu’ils soient pour cartes graphiques ou encore pour processeur, s’est lancé depuis un petit moment dans la fabrication de boitier. On connaissait les GT-Machine, boitiers de la marque d’une e...

  • Das Zalman GS1000 Titan hat uns persönlich sehr gut gefallen. Es besticht durch eine tadellose Verarbeitung, scharfe Kanten oder spitze Ecken sucht man vergeblich. Trotz der Kombination aus Kunststoff und Aluminium ist das Gehäuse sehr massiv und ver...

  • Ein sehr Edles und vom Aussehen her, aufwendiges Gehäuse. Mit dem GS1000 ist das Schrauben-Chaos fast Vergangenheit! Dadurch auch für einen „Anfänger“ sehr zu empfehlen. Auf der Rückseite des Gehäuses sind zwei vorhandene Einlässe für eine Wasserkühlun...

  • Abstract:  Некогда корпуса выглядели страшными ящиками, а чтобы уместить в них все добро, приходилось прибегать к пресловутой доработке напильником. При этом такие мелочи, как царапины на руках, закатившиеся в недоступный уголок винты и хаотичный клубок из проводов ...

  • O Zalman GS1000 é um gabinete “full tower” voltado aos usuários “topo de linha” que querem um gabinete de boa qualidade repleto de recursos, mas não querem gastar os tubos para terem um gabinete todo em alumínio. Aqui está um resumo do que achamos dest...

  • Hot swap, God kvalitet, God kylning
  • Hot swap på endast tre platser, Ingen ESATA på I/Opanelen, Onödiga fläktgaller stansade ur stålplåten
  • Zalman är långt ifrån nya på marknaden och har länge sysslat med datorchassin och kylning. Företaget har ofta legat i framkanten vad gäller innovation och nyskapande. Med GS1000 introducerar Zalman hot swap för oss konsumenter. Detta är som tidigare n...
