Video Review: This product has Home Theatre PC case written all over it. It not only looks great and is quality built, but it comes with a Vacuum Florescent Display (VFD) and a fantastic remote control. One important feature about this case is that it fits all standard ATX hardware but remains slim, and this is a testament to its excellent design. A much more powerful system can be built using standard ATX hardware over micro ATX. This is especially important if you are building a gaming HTPC. Watch...

Zalmans HD135 follows up on its HD160 Media PC case by making it an inch shorter and sleeker while adding space for three more hard drives. Zalman has made some interesting cases in the past, but their fans have been consistently noisy, which is surpr...
Bottom line The HD135 is flawed by poor airflow design, badly executed vents, and as is so common with Zalman, poor stock fans. Zalmans decision to use a pair of thin, low pressure, noisy, 80mm fans without providing mounting points for any other fans is disappo...

Bottom line Even though the Zalman HD135 HTPC Case has a few flaws I still like it a lot. Zalman has designed it to accommodate standard components which is a big plus, yet it is rather low profile with a total height of only 13.5 cm.The airflow concept is well th...
