Zalman Z9 Plus Mid Tower - Black [Z9 PLUS]

Zalman enjoys as a manufacturer of high quality, efficient and individually shaped cooler a high level of awareness. In comparison, the small but beautiful housing sector usually moves into the background. Wrongly, because even in this segment with a Zalman shines visually striking appearance and high functionality. After the great 1000 models completes the manufacturer's own palette from now with the Z-segment housing in the mid-tower.

The Z9 is available in two versions, both share the same basic structure and differ only in the equipment. As shown more fully expanded fan, a fan controller and temperature control are installed. The Z9 Plus is thus a more efficient cooling, and extensive monitoring and control capabilities.

In the design of the Midi-Tower comes with confidence at present and at the front and side of a large Z logo, which indicates the series as well as the manufacturer. The slightly forward of the front wing of help to create a special emphasis. Furthermore there is a external 3,5 - and four 5.25-inch slots. One is already occupied by the I / O panel, but can be implemented flexibly, or even expanded.

On the other hand, this is an essential part of the functionality would be missing because of said panel are in addition to four USB 2.0 and two audio ports and an infinitely variable fan control display for temperature indication. The sensor connected to it can be freely positioned in the housing, thus enabling a targeted temperature monitoring of critical areas.

The left side panel is equipped with a grid of holes for two fans (one included) and two small windows. Insight allowed! And thanks to the black interior finish hardware is very good effect. In addition, the blue lighting of the fan.

Beyond these external drives, the Z9 has five internal 3.5-inch slots. These are decoupled and thus provide a vibration-damped support of HDDs. Additionally, SSDs are also (2.5 inches), no problem - one can be installed behind the motherboard and another in the external 3.5-inch slot. Motherboard backplate recesses for the installation and cable management are also available.

The fan assembly is the Z9 Plus generous. The package includes four 120 mounted on the front, the side panel on the back and under the lid and are illuminated with the exception of the tail fan. Three other fans are also installed (side, bottom, top).
