We get in contact with a lot of cases here at GT,
and each one is individual and different. Well, almost all are
different. Nick from CrazyPC
sent over a Zeus mid tower for us to take a look at. I have
never heard of Zeus, so this was something new to me. He
mentioned it was a steel case with some extra goodies not seen
usually on common cases.
I guess it is a bit
different in that it already has a side window installed. I've
seen other manufacturers get into this pre-modded fad, which is fine by
me. Not everyone has the tools or hands to do it. So it has
a side window, seen it done before so that wasn't too shocking.
Let's see what the spec sheet on this says from CrazyPC:
-
Motherboard Type: ATX, Extended ATX, Pentium IV or
AMD
-

1 x 80mm cooling fan in CPU Duct, optional 80mm blow hold fan, and
front fan.
-

Included
-

-

3.5"

Internal Bays Available: 6 x 3.5"
-
Actual
Dimension (L x W x H): 18.5" x 8" x 17.5"
-
Weight: 20LBS with No Power Supply
Not too bad, except for the absence of a
power supply. Should not pose a problem, PSUs are widely
available, and you can even add it into your order for this case for a
little bit extra.
Everyone can make and install a window kit,
but not all are created equal. Notice in the vents, that the plexi
protrudes a bit too far. It isn't too noticeable from afar, but
when you're closer and a nit picker, it jumps out at you.
The side panels are held together with
thumb screws which makes it easy to get inside the unit. Even
though that is true, the side panel was a bit hard to put back
together. I pushed it into the notches and it would fall out by
itself. You'll need to hold it there while you screw in the panel
with the screws.
