We have seen many cases here at XSReviews ranging from the conservative silent types to the somewhat more extravagant. When looking for cases many people want to have the best of both worlds: silence and looks. Yet although there are solutions availab...
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...

There are four categories of cases as far as I am concerned. There are cases that cost more than $200 and then there are cases that cost less than that. And there are cases that are worth the $200 asking prices and there are cases that manufacturers th...
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...

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...

In the past Zalman has specialized in high end, all aluminum, mid-tower enclosures that were both elegant and expensive. While continuing to offer great styling and features, the new GS1000 professional full-tower enclosure breaks from th...
Excellent fit and finish, attractive styling, Potential for very good case cooling airflow, Four external 5.25” bays (with two 3.5” device adapters), Up to eight internal HDD bays, Up to six hotswap HDD bays (3 standard, 3 optional), Toolfree...
Too expensive given the competition, Will have to add more fans to realize full case cooling potential, No ESATA port...
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...

While this was a nice case to work with and the build quality was equally good, I have a hard time recommending it due to the price point. There are so many good competitors whose prices are lower that are offering a lot more bang for the buck. The fi...

Its been a while since weve seen a new Zalman case here at BCCHardware and I was pretty interested when Zalman offered us a look at the GS1000. Their previous tower chassis were built like tanks and were pretty expensive, while the new GS1000 is li...

Zalman GS1000 is a hybrid aluminum/steel full-tower case from Zalman: its side panels and details from its front panel are manufactured in aluminum, while its internal body is manufactured using the traditional zinc-coated steel. This helps reducing th...
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...

Zalman has quite the reputation in the field of PC hardware, in the same way that BMW has quite the reputation in the field of cars. They both offer innovation, buckets of build quality, and for the most part, impressive performance, in exchange...
Despite its admittedly excellent cooling ability, we still have a lot of reservations about the GS1000. Its significantly noisy with the included fans which is a major let down, especially as in the past Zalman is a company youd associate with quiet...

At first glance, Zalman’s GS1000 chassis looks like it’s a going to be a tool-free computer builder’s dream. And in many ways, it is. Zalman peacocks the hot-swap bays for your hard drives by placing them right on the front of the case, eschewing the m...
Lots of internal room, lots of drive bay space in a hotswap design, parts kept in check and off the floor using springmounted screws.
Optical drive installation a formidable task, fan holes blocked by plastic grate, minimal frontpanel connection options.

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 s...
