Product Reviews
- “The case is even more impressive than our initial impressions lead us to believe. Not only does it look good to the eye, but the build quality is through the roof thanks to some thick, removable aluminium panels and the tight fit of the individual components.”
- bit-tech - “It's incredibly sturdy, beautifully finished and made entirely of aluminium to radiate excess heat. The GT1000 is expensive, but it's easy to build, quiet and looks great.”
- Computer Shopper - “This isn't just about the slick design; the GT1000 is built like an armoured van and easy to use.”
Zalman GT900/GT1000 Z-Machine High End Gaming Cases
We are proud to offer the new Z-Machine range of gaming cases from Zalman and as you would expect, their build quality is second to none. They are constructed with 5mm thick aluminium and offers tool-free installation of hard drives and two optical drives. The end product is one that any PC enthusiast would be proud of!
GT900 (please note internal components not included)
The GT1000 is available in a choice of black or titanium finishes and the GT900 is available in black only. Both black cases come with red LED fans, and the titanium GT1000 comes with blue ones. Two 92mm intake fans and a single 120mm exhaust fan are provided.
The GT1000 costs more than the GT900 and for the extra money you get the ability to house up to six hard drives rather than the three which the GT900 can take. The GT1000 is 20mm taller and has a split-opening side door. Apart from these differences, the GT900 and GT1000 are identical.
 The GT1000 HDD cage holds up to four hard drives |  The floor of the GT1000 holds up to two hard drives |
As you can see from the photographs, Zalman's range of Z-Machine cases boast a large window which allows you to show off the internals of your PC to best advantage. The hard drives tend to be one of the less visually-appealing areas of a PC and for this reason they are not visible from the window. Please note that the optical drives and hard drives shown in the photographs are not included.

GT1000 Black (1)

I took delivery today after ordering yesterday - excellent service from QPC!
I have or more accurately had an Advent T9302 from a few years back, I think it must have been the worlds noisiest PC, the Prescott 560 it has would crank up the CPU fan to full roar for the slightest task, All I have simply done is change the case and remove the CPU fan exhaust tube, no other upgrades - erm wow what a difference a case makes!
The body transplant of my old PC went smoothly, apart from a few shortcomings in the original PC PSU having short leads, nothing to do with the Zalman case.
I now have a very capable case that I can take my time cherry picking the internals for it, even though it is a large case - it's to good to sit on the floor.
