    I would be interested to see it up against the Fractal Design R5. That's the case I'm planning to get, but I can be swayed.

    But really, Zalman? Break away slot covers? You came so close to knocking it out of the park...

    So, 6 months before all your components get covered in dust? :D

    Put in another intake fan if you want positive pressure to trap most of your dust in the front filter :)

    go for the Fractal. Fractal's build, material quality, and thoughtfulness is very hard to beat. you definitely get what you pay for when it comes to their stuff.

    Those hard drive mounts look like corsair rip offs.

    Nearly every time I see a statement like that, I'm able to find a previous product from a third brand to contradict it. Many of these ideas come from the ODM itself, rather than the brand that has the product customized to match its market.

    Great performance, a little ugly.

    But if you like the way it looks, then it seems like a great deal!
