 Welcome to my unboxing and showcase of the Zalman Z11 Plus HF1 or Hellfire 1. This is pretty similar to the Zalman Z11 Plus that we took a look at before, so we're not going to go too much into the details of the case itself, but more into what separates the HF1 edition from the regular case. You can also check out my previous unboxing of the Zalman Z11 Plus just by searching for it on the YouTubes. Let's go ahead and open this up. You've got your hard foam packaging, not my favorite, but the corners are well protected, so I wouldn't expect you to run into any issues with this particular one. Now what's special about the HF1 edition of the case is the fact that it has a pretty neat color scheme that if you're into dark and demonic games like dungeon crawlers that involve hell and fire, that might be a pretty good match for if you wanted to do a painting system around something like that. So let's go ahead and check this out. So the Z11 Plus is pretty much what we've come to expect. Good cooling, so the whole front has got excellent ventilation. Let's just go ahead and... Oh, I was so close. So close to getting it in one piece. So at the front we've got our 120 millimeter cooling fan. We've also got ample ventilation. The hard drives get, again, ample cooling from the additional ventilation that's available here. The side window is actually very, very unique, so it kind of pops out, which might seem like kind of an odd design choice at the beginning, but then if you go, oh wait, what if the end user wanted a huge tower cooler on their CPU? That would be a way to achieve it, because there's lots and lots of room for that. At the top you've got a little tray for storing things. You've also got your front USB 2, front audio, front USB 3, power switch, reset switch, and your hard drive indicator LED. I actually kind of like these designs as long as the manufacturer leaves enough space for ventilation where it looks clean from the front, and you've got lots of cooling from the back. So, you know, business in the front, party in the back. This one, like the design. I've seen ones in the last little while that I didn't like it as much because there was like this much of a gap and like no actual room for airflow, but this is fine. Okay, from the back you've got your I.O., you've got your 120 millimeter fan, you've got seven PCI slots in your standard. These days, I guess it didn't used to be standard, not that long ago, but bottom mounted power supply. So let's go ahead and open this baby up so you guys can, whoops, it's okay, don't worry about it. If you haven't seen this 11 Plus yet, you can have a look at it from the inside. So there's an 80 millimeter cooling fan that's going to take care of your drive cooling. Also got a black sleeve cable, it's good. Little details like that do count, you guys. And then in the front you've got your red LED fan in the back. You've got another red LED fan. In terms of included accessories, you've got, oh, look at that, they include an eight pin power extension. See, again, details. Details that count, all of your included hardware as well as a couple PCI brackets. And then you can mount, this is actually neat as well because a lot of the time the back of your PCIe slots can get extremely hot because graphic cards are hot and they blow heat down on them. So you can throw a little 60 mil fan in there to take care of that. You've also got another 120 millimeter red LED fan up here in the top and these are all using silver cables. I don't mind silver cables, I'd prefer black but it's not the end of the world. You've got your cable management holes, you've got your motherboard CPU cutout for easy installation of large aftermarket coolers. This is kind of disappointing. You've got a USB 3 pass through so you'll plug these into the back of the board. Would have preferred to see an internal header in this day and age. You've got another 80 millimeter fan on the other side. That might come in handy again for drive cooling. And all of your drive rails are included...where exactly? Hold on a sec. Yeah, so apparently that's the same mistake I made last time. That's an SSD mount. I mean you can put a fan there. It's up to you. As for the hard drive mounts, you just use these rubber isolation grommets and screws. Slide them in here. It's pretty much tool-less although you have the option, I guess, of installing a screw. No, probably not. I don't see anything. Okay, so they're tool-less. All black interior which is a must these days in my opinion. And ample room for cable management. See, I can even jam my hand back there should I see fit. So thank you for checking out my unboxing and stay tuned. We're going to show you guys what this will look like with a red themed colored build inside it. All right, so we did a quick build. It's not a complete build or anything like that but we've got a Maximus V formula in there. We've got the Zalman CNPS 9900 and that's the red LED version. So you can see the red LED fan that comes in the top, the red LED fan that comes in the back. You've got a very cool glowing effect going on inside this system because it's got like a frosted or a smoked side panel. You can see through the top. It's got like kind of a neat sort of hellish glow. The front again, you've got a bit of a glow. So overall would I say that the red HF1 edition is cooler than the regular Z11 Plus? Yeah, actually. I mean it looks great. We've got a Fatality 1000 watt power supply in there so that's why you've got some additional red glow coming from the bottom and then there's the... It's very quiet too actually. I was kind of surprised at that. Usually you get those sort of... I mean it's Zalman so that should have been my expectation but usually you get those like performance edition parts and they tend to be like really, really loud. That's what it looks like with the side panel off. Looking good actually. Okay, so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the Zalman Z11 Plus HF1 edition.
