Tomshardware did a review of this case:
http://www.tomshardware.com/howto/20040115/index.html

I thought it was strange that they would not list any temp recordings of the CPU, northbridge, VGA card, HD, or anything other than saying that the case felt "warm" or that the system didn't overheat (well, what does that mean... that it didn't get to 100 degrees?). Does anyone here think that it was an idiotic review, considering it costs over $1000 for the case? Is someone getting paid over there to remain quiet? I mean jeez.. if I am to shell out 1K don't u think I want to know how good of a cooling element it can provide and what temps are u getting in REAL WORLD versus what the manufacturer says (forgive me for not trusting the manufacturer's data since they won't be liable for any damages). On Zalman's website they list their temps as in the low to mid 60's for the CPU and northbridge (that's a bit high isn't it?). Motherboard and southbridge is around 50 degrees as well --- umm, under what CPU load is it at?? Dunno... okay then... but if its under IDLE... that's a bit too HIGH. What's strange is that the review doesn't even indicate if a BTX board is compatible with the case since they are due for release pretty soon. I found the review incomplete other than it just saying the same thing Zalman's site already says. Zalman has reviews link to a German site (can't read german), a korean site (can't read that either), and surprise Tomshardware... Not to say Tomshardware is a bad site, its actually a pretty good site but the review is totally lacking.
