Zalman HD160XT Home Theatre PC Cases

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.

Features

  1. Zero pixel defects 7” wide touch-screen monitor
  2. All aluminium chassis for best cooling and aesthetics
  3. Front panel access to Windows XP MCE and LCD settings
  4. Fan speed control software to balance cooling and quietness
  5. Sliding HDD and optical drive chassis for easy installation
  6. Includes Microsoft RC6-compatible remote control *
  7. Includes Windows XP MCE-compatible remote control †

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!

The LCD monitor really makes this product stand out from the crowd. As mentioned above it can be used as an indicator that shows various information and activities. It can also be used as a second monitor or even a sole monitor, for a completely self-contained PC.

Zalman designed the HD160XT to be the ultimate Home Theater chassis. Here at Quiet PC we certainly think Zalman have hit the nail on the head!

    So what do you get for your money? In a word, quality. Yes you can buy cheaper from the like of Lian Li and Antec, but none can match Zalman’s high-calibre product.

    The front panel display benefits greatly from touchscreen functionality, which means it’s perfectly possible to take a computer housed in the HD160XT, with no mouse, keyboard or external monitor, and interact with your media centre like normal. This has become the holy grail for HTPC designers.
