Zalman HD160 HTPC Case

Zalman has been focused on for quite awhile in the cooling market with excellent performing air and watercoolers. Now they are slowly starting to get on the market for cases also it seems as we were able to get a sample of their new HD160 HTPC case. As with all products they have focused on making it as quiet as possible with rubber dampeners, and low noise fans. With the rest of the quiet Zalman products we will see how well this case actually works and how it will sound noise wise.

About Zalman:

We are thankful to those of you who have purchased our Noise Prevention products and computers, as well as to all of you who are visiting our website. If we fully utilize computers' many functions such as communications, office productivity, and multimedia, our life can become more comfortable and enriching. In order for this to be achieved, the computer must first become more user-friendly.


Despite the fact that computers have become commonplace at home and at workplaces for a long time, true user-friendliness of the computers is still a long shot. At Zalman Tech, we strive to make that goal a closer reality through extensive research and development of our products. We were the world's first in reducing computer noise down to lower than 20dB, thus creating a more user-friendly computing environment. Now it is possible to use a computer without distracting noise and to form high fidelity audio system or home theatre system without ambient noise. Zalman Tech will continue to make efforts at creating more enhanced levels of user-friendliness in computing; we believe that we have the ability and determination to achieve this goal. Your support and interest are greatly appreciated.

We can see on the box that this enclosure comes in either silver or black, so you can match it against the rest of your home theater system. The case weighs about 4.8kg and you can see some more specifications above the pictures.

The front of the case actually just has two buttons, which are power and reset. Beside them you got leds for HDD activity and power. The big wheel in the middle is the volume controller itself. There is a cd bezel included so the hole case gets black, so all you have to do is pop the old one of and mount the new bezel and even your cdrom will be black in the front to match the rest of the case. Under the cdrom there is a cover that covers some extra ports that we will look closer into later in the review.
