Conclusion
**click to enlarge**
The Z-Alien has given me
quite a roller coaster ride. It has all the style of a ‘80s hair band – Love
it or hate it, you can’t ignore it. I personally think that appearance is a
judgment call that cannot be quantified, so I’ll leave that out of my pros and
cons. I will also leave out the “hole punch grille” and the thumb screw
shortage…these items can be easily fixed at minimal cost. The rail system is
amazing, and I know I’ll be missing that arrangement in my other cases. The
ventilation on this case is outstanding, and combined with the 120mm fan
really keeps this case cool. I do find the lack of documentation, no
motherboard tray, and a shaky power button to be serious problems, considering
the amount of money invested. I really could not recommend the Z-Alien to a
newcomer who has never built their own computer before, but given a little
patience and a few mods this could be a really outstanding case.
You can
purchase this case from
Xoxide.com for $119.99 and is available in

Silver, and
Black.
