Building on the success of their HD160, Zalman have now release their newest and most feature rich Home Theater PC chassis yet: the HD160XT!

The first thing you will notice is that the new XT version has a 7" LCD Touchscreen on the front of the chassis. Once set up, the LCD screen can display much more information than any VFD. The LCD is able to display information such as Graphic Equaliser, Volume, CPU used, Network Speed, Time, Fan Speed etc. The images below are just a taste of the type of information it is able to show.

As indicated by the name of the product, the HD160XT is 160mm tall and therefore it is the same height as the standard HD160. This means it is cable of accommodating full-size motherboards and PSUs without any clearance issues. The innovative cooling solutions found in the HD160 are also present in the XT version. There is a grille at the side of the chassis to allow a 120mm-fanned PSU to bring cool air in from the outside of the chassis. The case can also accommodate Zalman's CPU and VGA coolers: the CNPS9500 CPU coolers and the VF900 VGA coolers are both compatible. Unfortunately the larger CNPS9700 CPU cooler is not compatible because it is too tall!
