#782 - Zalman Fatal1ty FC-ZE1 Champ1on Case Video Review

[lifehackertips]

Wow high-end cases have changed a lot in 4 years, this would be a $50 case today

[CaptianObviousIII]

I'm surprised that prices have not dropped on this product after the 3 to 4 years the Zalman Fatal1ty Series was released. Price ranges nowadays is around $245.00, which is ridiculous..

[dmb3428]

i have this case and it was expensive as hell ($350.00) it's not bad. The panels are about 3/16 thick, it's a nice looking case (black aluminum) but it weighs about the same as a steel case. The front fans are blocked too much by the hard drive cage almost making them useless. I added a side fan in the window to lower the temps...This case would go well with a home theater due to the looks though...

[Eclipezz]

Great ? haha this sucks lol..

[illmagnified]

This case sucks ass. It cost 300 bucks and its terrible! There are cases that cost half as much with far better performance properties and features!

[rodrigosendas]

i love this case

[SonsOfHateSphere]

This is a 100% shitass product!

[jma90]

great review, rubbish case.

[taltigolt]

if anyone got offended by my comment im sorry just sayin don't buy it that comment was to someone that said he would buy it and he had a budget so i just said to him save the money for pc parts instead sorry for my previus comment

[wolfgoblin]

He's not a robot after all!

[tommyakatytheman]

hi im rodney reynolds

[LegendaryJamie]

hi im rodney reynolds

[byron3]

hahaha i love the bloopers part...more power rodney....

[DAGSTERZ26]

I agree with 3DGAMEMAN on a lot of hardware. In fact I normally wont buy ANYTHING without his opinion on it first. But I am going to have to bite the bullet on this one and take my chances. I will purchase this tonight. It is not like the other cases. Looks are NOT everything but I really like the way it looks. A little nail polish remover may do the trick with the text everywhere. And I love the way there is no fan on the left side of the case. I will post more when I get this case.

[feverofhell2]

looks great but bet it cost a pretty penny

[pimpstenator]

Its over $300.

[hussainmushahid]

maybe he gave this product high rating cause its of 5mm aluminium

[keiburth]

Looks like GT900 case!

If those 'fatality scratches' werent there and if the price was lower i would buy it in a second!

[CreatureGam3r]

"zadi1"? lol

[chevlyatmac]

zed e 1

[zephyr1080]

I think this product should have gotten a "needs work" rating

[max0ruk]

i got this today.. its amazing

[omgfullysick]

Do you think its worth the money? coz i was thinking of buying one too

[taltigolt]

DONT buy a antec twelve hundred cheaper bigger better

[Hardscript]

antec cases have been ruined because to many people have them and because of it i would rather have a card board box instead of a antec 900 or 1200

[kidowner]

but not many drivebays. hahaha :P

[DaftChemist]

I think it looks like an awesome case. How is it? ...and how many usb ports does it have? Is it just the 2 in front?

[stickrpg23]

ya 2 in front and how ever many your mobo has i have 6 in the back

[wetfett]

that cooling is LOUD. nah, not at all

[jamieelsworth2007]

i do like this alot but if im a pro gamer i dont want someone elses name on the side of my case this case does look brilliant tho i would defo buy one if it didnt have the logos on very where

[desmain]

nice case,its like a chasie with side panels. if it were strait black and hinge-less door id get it:(

[Malfunction01]

it's interesting but, you sound like a robot xD

[niels2029]

Thanks for the review!

im happy!

[carboncode]

I bought this case and i love it, the little warnings and logos on the case doesn't really bother me cuz its not at eye level, but it is a good case.

[CmlDexter]

LOL, i love the part when he says "i do not understand why they did that" the expression on his face, and if u look at the case there are hundreds of "caution" and instruccions, he is not exagerating.

[IKLIPTIC]

There are not 100's of caustions maybe 20-30 but hundreds as in more than 200 i think you may want to recheck your math. But with all his pauses i just dont get all the pauses in his speach then the overly annoying babling of his sales pitch and then the really bad blooper real that isnt funny at all.

[thetoobnoob]

Fatal1ty looks ok (apart from the labelling), but he CPU cooler is dangerously heavy and the Creative Fatal1ty sound cards aren't worth it for what you get on good motherboards these days

[bu7aisin]

i actualy lik the labels. i like the looks of this more than the z machine.

[ZippoZoid]

Fatal1ty, all name, no performance.

[iohendrix]

tottaly agree. u know what u're talking about dude

[ZippoZoid]

Fatal1ty crap. All name, no performance.

[wrestlesomnia]

i think there a bit paranoid or they just want to advertise

and Rodney keep up those good reviews

[transatlant1c]

Your a champ Rodney, keep it up buddy!! :D

[Idler81643]

Ok, now i juz need a fatal1ty beer to complete my collection.. =)

[Samage89]

he indicates the good points of each of his products but if the product is bad he will usually tell us, i would also like see actually see him say this case is good but their are better value cases on the market for this price range.

please rodney, if you are accepting bribes dont, you were a good source of information, now i only watch reviews on products with high praise.

[Idler81643]

Another dumb Fatal1ty product... i totally agree.. he shouldnt say it as a GREAT product.. come on..

[InfiniteZr0]

He probably got payed by Fatal1ty's people to call it great

[bluedishwasher]

this is irritating because this is quite clearly not a "great product", rodney why do you not give bad reviews to anything? i think there is little in this case to warrant it being 'great'

[alexundeGrounDed]

NOT CHEAP THING DAMMIT

[iunnox666]

ummm, aluminum doesn't add weight, its lighter than most metals.

[ILikeCheese1256]

What a piece of crap, good review though.

[Aberusugi]

Agreed, it is overpriced, loaded with stupid advertisements. The Antec Nine-Hundred is less than half the price easily and is 4 times the case.

[jaynemesis]

hmm tbh i think that case shoulda got a worse review.. it seems badly designed and has waaaay to much branding crap on it as you mentioned..and since it is fatal1ty's im guessing its stupidly over priced aswell.

[lambo916]

do you ever give a bad review????

[darklink2000]

i dont like Fatalty products why do all the good products have to have his name on it spect i dont like this case at all.

[TWl7CHY]

I'd choose the Antec 900 for looks and ventilation - anything with a Fatal1ty tag on it kind of steers me away from those products...

But those red LEDs are HOT!

[L3m0n4d3233]

Vist one to watch the video! yay! BTW good job on the review.
