What size (width and height) or hard drive will fit in my Zalman Z1 Tower?

Rossdowling321 · Nov 29, 2015

I've got a 931gb seagate already in there and that's all the info I can give on the hard drive.

So how many can I fit in? will there be a cable issue since I have SLI GTX 970's in there? I was hoping for x2 hard drives (total of 3) to be put in there.

How do I install it into my case, does it come with clips/screws that are universal with all pc towers? and I take it sata cables wont be a problem either?

I have a standard(non-branded) 850 Watt PSU and my MoBo is Z97X Gaming 3.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: It will be normal HDD's btw, info on SDD would be nice too if you can, no room for PCI-E SSD though, the GPU's have clustered and need Fan room.

I got a great idea for PcPartPicker.com. Build-in dimensions for all products, then provide a 3-D tool so folks can build their PC virtually, by all means asset a nominal fee for the service.

Once I saw a program on Boeing building their new 787, which outsources its parts from across the globe, and all parts must fit, so the Engineers in Seattle use this 3D program to put all the components together and make sure everything fit before they spend the time actually assembling the real thing. Nifty!

jsmithepa :

Yes, that is a CAD program.
Now...for pcpp to do this, they'd need several thousand individual, accurate, 3D CAD files for each and every possible part, updated daily as new parts come out.
Then they'd need some sort of framework to place all those parts in your particular case, with sub millimeter accuracy.
This framework needs to be user friendly and web accessible for thee and me.

Boeing/Airbus/Ford/Toyota can throw many million dollars at this. Can pcpp?
