Zalman Cases? opinions?

Looking at the Customer Reviews Of ZALMAN PROFESSIONAL GS-1000-TT Titanium Computer Case Aluminum / 1.0mm SECC Steel Full Tower With Hot Swap Bays & PSU Roller Rails - Retail

I saw it at the local store and for what i was looking for looked quite nice. I was considering a Nzxt Tempest but i am worring about having to order and shipping being way expensive. Plus i hate to order cases i have not seen in person. What do you guys think of it?

That's a nice looking case it doesn't have the top cooling the Tempest does but it is aluminum. The Tempest is steel and heavier but about 80 bucks cheaper.

Shipping may be an issue depending where you are located. I have a buddy in Malaysia that really wanted to check out the Rogue case from NZXT but its not available retail there and shipping to the other side of the world is too expensive ...

A bit much plastic on the outside. Check out the review below.

Hmm I thought from the initial pics there were intake fans in the front as well. There are 2 x120mm intake fans in the front of the Tempest both with filters ... one for each HD bay. The positioning of the fans it does have doesn't really look that great after looking at the article.
