Zalman X7: large enclosure with smart fan control



It is as a case manufacturer mainly known for their inexpensive solutions with concise design. However, with the growth of the market of gaming accessories and South Korean vendor wanted to do the “Sally” in the high end segment. A reconnaissance for Zalman was the release of a Full-Tower case Z series Machine with a straightforward name X7. The design is made of combination of different materials (aluminum, steel, plastic, tempered glass), is an impressive 587 mm in length, 230 mm in width and 617 mm in height, and weighs an impressive 17,5 kg.




Thickness translucent side panel Zalman X7 is 4mm decorative aluminum panels for front, top and bottom 2 mm. the Decision to decorate the lower surface of the housing aluminium insert is quite unusual, but then the engineers of Zalman apparently was a good reason.


Panel I / o located above the insert of tempered glass. Its connectors are the most common Quartet USB 3.0 Type-A single socket for headphones and microphone. Over them are adjustment knobs for the fan speed, RGB color picker-lighting fans, lighting effects and the speed of their playback.



Given the affiliation of the Zalman Z-Machine X7 to the class of casings Full-Tower, there is no doubt that enthusiasts will have the opportunity to place virtually any commercially available components. In particular, we are talking about motherboards form factor E-ATX, along with the more familiar ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX, four double-slot graphics cards (one can be mounted on the casing over the PSU and connect via PCI-E riser) length up to 420 mm and CPU coolers up to 175 mm. the Size of the radiators DLC should not exceed 360 mm — perhaps the most significant limitation.



For the power supply has 180 mm of space near the basket for storage. The number of the latter can reach eleven pieces (five 2.5-inch and six 3.5-inch), not counting the seats for 5.25-inch devices. By the way, note one important thing: to place an optical drive or other suitable-sized host PC, the collector will have to dismantle the fan controller.



Complete fan four — all size 120 mm, with a set of LEDs. Curiously, the fan controller is not limited only to interaction with the pre-installed fans. As stated in the specifications, only the “charges” can be ten. In addition, you have the option to connect to the fan control two led strips and the device power connector Molex 4-pin.


Since the demonstration case Zalman X7 at Computex 2017 it’s been a long time, however, marketers of the South Korean company still has not decided on its recommended price.
