Outside
The exterior of this case is a true beauty. All drive bays and power/reset buttons are hidden behind the large door on the front bezel of the case giving it a nice clean look when the door is closed. This is especially nice since most CD or DVD drives comes in different colors and can make even the prettiest cases look ugly in a matter of seconds.
The face of the door is adorned with a unique design giving it different look than all the copy cat cases and makes sure you will stick out in a crowd. One of the best features of this case is the design in the door and more specifically the way the "Z" logo lights up blue when power is turned on. Along with the blue LED light of the logo are the 2 boomerang shaped indicators on either side of the logo which light up red when HDD activity is present. Both the 2 HDD indicators and the blue center logo use high intensity LED's and are sure to be noticed.
Below the bezel door you will find a small flip panel which hides the 2 front USB ports. Moving on to the side of the case will find a large window cut in the side panel. This window takes up most of the door and makes almost every component on the inside of the case viewable from the outside. Unlike most windows mounted with black rubber this one mounts with small plastic rivets and sits flush with the panel. No sharp edges are present and really makes the panel look like its a one piece unit.
By now you without a doubt noticed the tri-LED fan in the window of the side panel, and yes it does ship with the same fan. Not only do you get the tri-LED fan, but it also comes with a laser cut grill guard and mesh to prevent your fingers from accidentally getting nipped by a fan blade. The rear of the case is just about like you would expect, plenty of expansion slots and (2) 80mm fan vents. At the bottom of the case are fold away feet which can be folded out to add stability to the case. Since the case is a full tower, they can be a little unsteady on some surfaces and you would not want your expensive gaming machine to take a spill.
There is no denying this case is great looking from the outside but lets take a look inside for functionality.
