"Pros: Well built, nice layout for components, lots of features

Cons: Somewhat buggy software required
several installs to get working, bad translation in manual made it hard to interpret sometimes

Other Thoughts: I originally had an Ahanix case, which was cheaper & showed it. Bought this from Newegg after it went on sale. This case rocks! Built much better & nicer layout (especially for hard drives). Accepted my water-cooling for CPU, Northbridge & Graphics card without any problems. Very well thought out case. Will be purchasing another for my theater room I'm building. "

    "Pros: Great case, well built. Looks really nice.

Cons: Included drivers to not work with Vista. I was able to find Vista touch screen drivers from the manufacturers website, but I can not find Vista software for the M Play/Zini software. Does anyone know where this can be found?"

    "Pros: Sturdy design, good air flow, plenty of space for ATX MOBO, wonderful display.

Cons: I purchased the Zalman to work with Vista Premium. THe manufacturer stated that it would. The touch screen controler was never recognized and the software would error. I downloaded drivers, they too failed. I later read posts from others that were having the same problem until they downgraded to XP. I just so happen to have XP and decided to try; it worked. In addition, ATI only card that works correctly.

Other Thoughts: Once I got this together it turned out to be a nice system and really looks good. If you have alot of time, and Vista isn't a requirement, then this is the case for you. "

    "Pros: can someone tell me what's the maximum height tolerance for the CPU heatsink and length for the VGA card.

Cons: none yet

Other Thoughts: thinking about buying this case to replace my low quality thermaltake. "

    "Pros: The workmanship on this case is exceptional. There is plenty of room inside for a full ATX board, video card (not much larger than an 8600gt), TV tuner and 4 drives + BD-rom. The fans do a great job cooling the unit at low dB. I have added a 4-ch fan controller since the software is horrible. The touchscreen (I have v3) works great in Vista. It fits in perfect with all of my A/V equipment. Worth the price for this well-built chassis.

Cons: The M.Play software is junk. Zalman has not updated in a very long time. I found that the software would keep my Vista 32-bit from entering sleep mode. I also found that my MS MCE remote would stop responding after a few hours of use (in Vista Media Center, ehmsas.exe process freezes). I have decided not to use the software and to clone my main display to the touchscreen (using a Gefen VGA to DVI scaler) for access to the PC without turning on the TV. I also use this feature when listening to music with VMC. The worthless software is my only reason for the 4 egg rating, otherwise it would be 5.

Other Thoughts: If Zalman got their act together and made a software suite that worked properly with Vista, they would have a true winner here. If you are willing to make accommodations to get around using the software like I did, you will be more than happy with this case. I use it everyday for watching TV, recording programs, playback of music, videos and DVDs from my WHS box. I "
