Designed for High TDP Processors Opening the Air Vent on the top of the case will facilitate the inflow of cool air from the outside for cooling the CPU. The 3 ultra quiet, high-capacity fans are designed for the quick discharge of heated air. Designed for High Performance Power Supplies A Dedicated Air Vent allows cool air intake from outside the enclosure directly into the power supply, minimizing its noise level and facilitating the highest possible efficiency. PSU Brackets are also provided to allow a stronger and more stable PSU Installation.   Designed for Optimal Graphic Card Performance An Air Vent near the VGA card reinforces its cooling for optimal operation of the VGA card. Designed to Maximize HDD and LCD Lifespan Carefully positioned fans quickly release air heated by the hard disks and LCD to maximize their life span.

The front panel DFSTN LCD provides user access to various features such as the Graphic Equalizer, Volume, Power, HDD Operation, Time etc. The front panel’s USB, IEEE 1394(Firewire), and audio I/O ports, provide easy access to a variety of media content and facilitate the connection of headphones and a microphone.   The buttons for the keyboard and application programs are located in the front of the enclosure, providing convenience when using a multimedia program. (Arrow Keys, Enter, Backspace)   Windows VISTA-Compatible Remote Control and Multimedia Software are provided. This enables the user to easily control the PC and execute various multimedia software. Sliding HDD and ODD Chassis provide easy installation and removal.

DFSTN Negative LCD enhances customer satisfaction (supports different languages depending on the user’s OS). Pure aluminum Components including the Front Panel Volume Knob allow the enclosure to easily blend in with other home theatre and Hi-Fi equipment.   Placement of the Memory Card Reader and IO (USB, 1394, Audio Port) behind the Front Panel Door provides a sleek exterior.

Five 3.5” bays and one 5.25” bay provide the user with the highest level of expandability compared to other enclosures of identical size.

The ultimate high performance ultra quiet home theatre PC can be built with Zalman’s CPU Coolers, VGA Coolers, Power Supplies, and Northbridge Coolers. (CNPS9500, VF700, VF900, ZM460B-APS, ZM600-HP, ZM-NBF47)

Recommended placement for the HD160 Plus   Placement of this system in a well-ventilated area (good intake of cool air and release of hot air) allows efficient cooling of computer components even in low RPM mode, for ultra quiet operation. The noise level of the power supply (main factor of noise emission) will also significantly decrease due to better cooling efficiency. There must be good front to back airflow when placing the HD160 Plus in cabinets. When the Top Panel’s vent is opened, placement of other devices above the HD160 Plus can hinder CPU cooling performance.     Management of the system's internal cables   The internal airflow of the system makes a significant impact on the cooling of the computer components. Even though the design of the enclosure itself is very important, organized management of internal cables is the best method for optimizing internal airflow. Pay special attention to make sure that the air vents and intake/exhaust fans are not blocked by the cables.     Recommended computer components for an Ultra Quiet Home Theatre PC   CPU Any CPU on the market CPU Cooler Ultra Quiet CPU Cooler with great cooling performance VGA VGA card that is either equipped with an Ultra Quiet VGA Cooler or is capable of being equipped with an Ultra Quiet VGA cooler VGA Cooler Ultra Quiet VGA Cooler Power Supply Power Supply equipped with a 120mm fan (HD160 Plus has a dedicated Air Vent for power supplies equipped with a 120mm fan) Motherboard Standard Full-ATX motherboard with no fans Northbridge Cooler Fanless Northbridge cooler
