ZALMAN R1 Black ATX Mid Tower Computer Case Standard ATX / ATX 12V Power Supply

Pros: -powder coating on inside is as good as on the outside
-looks good overall
-usb 3.0 in front panel
-very quiet
-very inexpensive for features included
-fits large cpu coolers, and long graphics cards (if you remove a hard drive cage)

Cons: -my graphics card runs 9°C hotter than in my old Antec

Overall Review: None

Pros: Looks Slick, Case is semi-sturdy. Price.

Cons: Full size Drive Bay slots are utilized by just loosely attaching the rails to a drive, you cant screw them in. One tiny securing screw is supposed to suffice to secure the drive....but they still have alot of give. Impossible to use these bays for a SSD, regardless of what kind of SSD adapter you have. There is only 2 spots for a SSD sized drive, one above the bays, and one in a awkward spot in a Disk Drive Bay....

Unbelievably bad air flow configuration and fans, even with the front door, and the top off, the low RPM fans move almost no air. CPU is FX6300, and a MSI GTX460Twin Frozer, 2 SSD's. I even placed a Fan on the GPU Stabilizing Bar....didn't help....You'll need to replace the 2 "quiet fans" and add 2 more high RPM 120mm fans on the available spots just to keep a standard GPU and CPU happy. ALSO....one of my pre-installed Fans (Top) was bad, first time I turned the case on, the fan started "knocking) from being severely out of balance.

Overall Review: I have many other Zalman products, and never had an issue whatsoever, .....this case was a huge let down. Lets hope my perfectly completed Rebate form delivers the actual rebate.
