GS1000-Plus Gaming Case [Discontinued]
£123.40

“Similar to GS1000-SE but with thicker side panels and extra HDD fans.

Zalman's GS1000 Plus is a mid-range gaming case with features you would expect to find on high-grade cases. The case is fantastically good looking which represents great value for money. If you are looking for a new case for your next PC then the GS1000+ could have everything you need, if not more!

The GS1000 Plus is similar to the GS1000 Special Edition except it has slightly thicker side panels (1.2 mm), making it 2.4 kg heavier. Also it has two fans positioned in front of its hard drive bays, adding 5 mm to its depth and a little bit of extra running noise. The side panels on the PLUS version are made from aluminium rather than steel like the SE version.

Zalman GS1000 Plus Features

Zalman GS1000 Plus - Airflow

GS1000 Plus Airflow

Cooler air is drawn in from the bottom and front of the case. The first components to benefit from this cooler air is the hard drives which are installed at the front of the case. As the air heats up it is extracted through the top and rear. As shown in the image to the left.


Zalman GS1000 Plus - Cabling

GS1000 Plus Cabling System

To help reduce clutter and improve airflow the GS1000 has an excellent cabling system. Virtually all cables can be fed under the motherboard tray putting them out of sight. Airflow is increased due to the fact that there are less cables directly in the path of the airflow.


Zalman GS1000 Plus - Hard Drives

GS1000 Plus Hard Drive Installation and Cooling

The GS1000 PLUS has two chambers that can accommodate up to three 3½" hard drives each, six in total. Each hard drive is installed on a caddy which makes installing and removing the hard drive simple. These caddies also include rubber dampeners which help reduce hard drive vibrations. The hard drives installed into the bottom chamber are hot-swappable, thanks to the pre-installed ZM-HS1000. Finally, both chambers have a 80mm fan which quietly cools the installed hard drives.


Zalman GS1000 Plus - Ports

GS1000 Plus USB, Firewire and Audio Ports

The input port cover on the top of the case is designed with extra durability for a smooth swivel mechanism. Once the cover has been opened there are two USB2, one Firewire, Microphone and Headphone ports for your convenience.


Zalman GS1000 Plus - Water Cooling holes

GS1000 Plus Water Cooling Holes

Water cooling is becoming more and more mainstream and with this in mind Zalman have provided two holes through the rear of the case for external water coolers, like the Reserator XT for example! Both holes have a rubber grommet that helps to protect the tubing from damage.


Zalman GS1000 Plus - Top Cooling

GS1000 Plus Top Cooling

On the ceiling of the case you will find one 120mm fan supplied with the case. There is also space for another 120mm fan to be installed. Installing a second fan will help increase the airflow through the case by extracting more warmer air.


Zalman GS1000 Plus - Base Cooling

GS1000 Plus Base Cooling

On the floor of the case you can install two 120mm fans. These fans increase the amount of cool air entering the system to help reduce the ambient temperature of the case and cool internal components.


Zalman GS1000 Plus - PSU Installation

GS1000 Plus PSU Installation

The power supply unit (PSU) is installed on rollers which makes the installation process very simple. The PSU is installed at the bottom of the case to benefit from the cooler air. This helps reduce the running temperature of the PSU and as a result noise levels are also reduced.
