ZALMAN Z9 Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
ZALMAN Z9 Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: I bought this case for my first build and liked it overall. It has good space inside and good wire management. It was easy to install the optical drive and the HD. You can get at the back of your motherboard after it is installed. I really like the black finish.

Cons: It only came with one tray for a HD. While the drives were easy to install, tools were needed where other cases are toolless.

Pros: Very quiet, works as expected, easy to install, came with everything needed.

Cons: None. No complaints.

Pros: The processor is great. The install went great. I'm very happy with the i5-3570.

Cons: The fan that came with the processor is terribly loud. I can't comment on its ability to cool the processor because I couldn't stand the noise and I replaced it with an aftermarket cooler that is whisper quiet.

Pros: I bought this because the fan that came with my Intel CPU was impossibly loud. This fit the bill due to excellent sound ratings and a mounting system that looked like it could be installed without removing my motherboard. Both turned out to be correct. I'm happy.

Cons: The directions were pretty bad. It took me a few minutes to figure out the installation. During the installation, the plastic tips bent outward a couple of times. I had to straighten them and start over. Not a huge deal, but worth 1 egg.
