Zalman is about to launch a new very high-end all-aluminum case, called Z-Machine or simply GT1000. This case is an evolution over their previous Fatal1ty case, check it out.

Z-Machine is based on Zalman Fatal1ty case, and the major differences are on the side door – on Z-Machine the side door is divide into two panels, while on Fatal1ty the side door uses a single panel – and more internal hard disk drive bays on Z-Machine (six internal bays against three on Fatal1ty). The rest of the specs are just about the same: we are talking about a case 100% built with 5-mm anodized aluminum.

Z-Machine will be available in two colors, black and titanium, and we took a look at the titanium version.

As you can see in Figure 1, this case has four 5 ¼” bays and one 3 ½” bay (plus the seven internal 3 ½” bays).

On Figures 2 and 3 you can see the side door, which is divided into two panels, making it easier to open and remove or add components inside the PC.

In Figure 4, you can see the switches, connectors and LEDs that are available on the case frontal panel: power switch, power LED, two HDD LEDs, reset switch, headphone jack, mic in jack, two USB ports and one FireWire port. Since this is a very high-end case, we think it could have come with an eSATA port as well, since this feature is starting to appear on high-end cases from other brands.
