The Final Word:
Colorcases has once again brought us a very refreshing take on the designer computer chassis. The Zeus brings quite a lot to the table. Going by pure looks, this case is definitely one of the better ones I've seen on the market. However, what's nice is the Zeus isn't just going by its looks. It is actually a fairly sturdy case with a fair amount of features. The case has the nice flaps for your disc drives on the bezel, the premodded window, the blowhole, and the front USB/Audio. When you do the math just the cost/effort of putting in the blowhole at the top and the window on the side can cost $20-25 (if you have the right tools to begin with). All these nice features plus the ability to accomodate up to 11 drives at under $60 makes the Zeus a nice bargain.

As I mentioned before, the only feature I felt was missing was the removable tray. But I guess you can't always get everything. At least the inside of the case gives you plenty of room to work around in. We've definitely seen some very interesting things happen to cases in the last year or so. Cases like the Zeus is definitely a great buy and is perfect for those who aren't ready to do their own case modifications. If other manufacturers follow suite with mass production of these premodded cases, the computer enclosures market is definitely in for an interesting year.


A big thanks goes out to Matt and the friendly folks at ColorCases.com for sending over this case. Head on over and see what new cases they've come up with!
