We have seen many cases here at XSReviews ranging from the conservative silent types to the somewhat more extravagant. When looking for cases many people want to have the best of both worlds: silence and looks.

With this in mind and the hope of filling this gap, Zalman have crafted the GS1000 – a quiet case that looks to have been designed with gaming in mind.
