Zalman HD501 Home Theatre PC Case - Black @ £119.99 inc VAT

CA-042-ZA_400.jpg



Available in two different styles, the HD500 series HTPC cases not only look great but they also offer excellent cooling for a HTPC chassis. The minimalist styling, brushed aluminium finish and the rounded corners give these cases a distinctive look. The optical drive, I/O ports and a hot-swappable HDD are all hidden behind front aluminium flaps to maintain the elegant finish.

The HD500 series can accommodate Micro ATX as well as Standard ATX motherboards. This makes it possible to install high performance components without having to worry if a large CPU cooler or graphics card will fit. The cases are compatible with coolers no taller than 130mm. Finally, with the HD500 series you can install long PSUs due to the extra space.

One of the down sides to HTPC case is the fact they can become quite warm due to the size of the chassis'. Zalman have helped to solve this problem by incorporating many ventilation holes. At the rear and the left side of the case you will find that there are two 80mm fans and 120mm fan. These fans are designed to extract the hot air generated inside the chassis. The intake fan is also 120mm which blows the cooler air from outside the chassis over the HDDs

Both the HD501 and the 503 have the facility for one hot-swappable 3.5" hard drive to be installed. This hard drive is installed into a 5.25" drive bay rather than a 3.5". As you would expect the HDD is mounted on anti-vibrational rubber screws. The hot-swappable HDD is accessed by lowering the bottom flap.

For convenience Zalman have also made available at the front of the case several common ports. Two USB, one e-SATA, one headphone and one microphone port are all available. These ports are hidden behind the same flap that hides the hot-swappable HDD.

- 450(W) x 170(H) x 455(D)mm
- GPU Support: Up to 260 mm max length
- 5.25" Bays: 2 (Hot Swap Bay x 1)
- 3.5" Bays: 3 (SSD x 2)
- Front I/O Ports: 1 x Mic, 1 x Headphones, 2 x USB, 1 x e-SATA
- Sleek minimalist design
- Side ventilation for increased cooling
- Tool free anti-vibration HDD installation
- Hot-swappable HDD support
- Accommodates up to two SSDs
- Convenient front I/O ports

Only £119.99 inc VAT.
