Zalman MS1000-HS2 Mid-Tower ATX Case
May 24th, 2010 | By NivedhTo access the interior, all you have to do is remove a couple of screws.
The interior is cavernous, with tons of space. The back has a hole to allow you to remove a heatsink without having to remove the motherboard from the case.
The bottom mounted PSU should result in good cooling performance. Seven expansion slots should be more than enough. There are a lot of cooling fans.
There is enough space for four 5.25″ and six 3.5″ drives. Also, two fans can be installed for cooling the hard drives; one is provided. Since the hard drives are hot swappable, there is a system to allow for that through which the drives connect to the motherboard. Instead of directly interfacing with the motherboard, you have to provide power and data connections to the rail system which in turn interfaces with the hard drives. There are also switches for controlling the fan speeds.
The front panel I/O connectors are all labeled.
Now that we’ve explored the interior, let’s move on to installation.
